How do we measure #CO2 and #CH4 exchanges from alpine-Arctic #tundra #ecosystems? - Part 3 ⛰️🌤️
Same day, same ecosystem type, new view - and a lot of mosquitos (can you spot the thorough repellent application?)
See Parts 1 & 2, and thread for more details! 👇

Super pretty samples! What will you do with them now Mingyue? 😊

1 measurement = 4min⏳
1 plot = 6 light conditions = ~38min⏱️ (personal best pace - no rushing - usually 45-50min).
1 day = 10 plots = 1 plant community🥬
We have 5 plant communities in total.
1 field season = 4 measurement rounds of the 5 plant communities = 1200 measurements🔃

A study from Sybryn Maes and the #ITEX network published in @nature.com shows a 30% increase in #EcosystemRespiration due to passive #warming with #OTC. But what about #NetEcosystemExchange? That is what I try to answer with my #LightResponse set-up.

Finally, the different light conditions, using shading nets to reduce radiations and a lamp from #Heliospectra to increase them, allow us to standardize the measurements despite variable weather conditions.

While measuring carbon exchanges in one plot, I measure soil temperature, soil moisture, and plant height in the following plot to get a better understanding of the mechanisms driving the changes in #carbonflux we observe with warming.

The small greenhouse on the right is an Open Top Chamber (OTC), it warms the air temperature by 1 degree. They are like small windows into the future. Measuring #CO2 and #CH4 exchanges inside and outside the #OTC helps us understand how #climatewarming will impact #carboncycling in the tundra.

Trying out my new set-up in the forest behind my house🌲🏡 The lamp from #heliospectra is increasing the photosynthetically active radiation #PAR on the ground by 1000! Now I can measure #CO2fluxes at different light intensities no matter the weather 🌥️ Looking forward to bring it to the #ArcticTundra!

In this opinion piece, we as a group of #ECRs outline barriers in bryophyte research and provide recommendations to overcome them across institutional levels & disciplines.
