GHG-Europe

This site was part of the CarboEuropeIP project (EU FP6) and is part of the GHG-Europe project (EU FP7). Eddy covariance flux measurements started in the end of 2003. The soil type is an eutri-stagnic cambisol under typical intensive crop rotation under the Swiss Integrated Pest Management regime (IP Suisse).
