It is rare that a day goes by when we’re not presented with more concerns of the effects on global climate change due to increased greenhouse gas emissions. While experts may not always agree on the solution, most agree that technology-based solutions should be evaluated and ready should they need to be implemented. One technology,…

Soil CO2 flux (FCO2) is usually the largest component of ecosystem respiration. It is also important for understanding soil carbon sequestration potential and soil carbon dynamics. FCO2 has a strong temporal variation over the course of a day or a season because of changes in soil temperature, soil moisture, above-ground vegetation physiological activities, and other…

Measuring Soil CO2 Flux in Maize & Soybean Agroecosystems

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

Research team member Carol Rogers checks the LI-8100 Automated Soil CO2 Flux system and the 8100-102 10cm Chamber.

In the global biosphere there is a dynamic exchange of CO2 emitted from human activity and its natural absorption in vegetation, soils, and other surface sinks. Scientists now widely agree that the exchange is out of balance. Annual emissions of CO2 are exceeding the capability/ availability of existing sinks to absorb it. Efforts to mitigate…
