Coastal wetlands function as the first line of natural defense for vulnerable coastal regions, particularly on the U.S. Gulf Coast where dense concentrations of energy infrastructure, urban development, shipping ports,… More
Tree cores and automated dendrometers provide powerful insights into multiple facets of tree function. When these measurements are collected at flux tower sites, we have the opportunity to advance… More
Understanding urban climate through measurements of surface-atmosphere exchanges Science Eddy covariance has become the standard method for measuring exchanges of biogeochemicals, water, and energy between ecosystems and the atmosphere…. More
Amartya Saha, Ecohydrologist/Instrumentation Specialist, Archbold Biological Station While summer in Florida means beaches, watermelons and swimming pools, it also routinely sees stormy weather that often reaches hurricane/cyclone/typhoon intensity. With wind… More
Through the AmeriFlux Rapid Response System Program, this field site (AmeriFlux Site ID: US-NC5) aims to quantify the benefits of active forest management and silvopasture to ecosystem services (carbon… More
Look at the picture above. That was us in Berkeley in 2024 – an incredible gathering of minds, ideas, and energy. But honestly? We think we can top it this… More
We are thrilled to announce the full launch of the FLUXNET Shuttle, a new system that streamlines access to eddy covariance data. This platform serves as a central gateway for… More
AmeriFlux Rapid Response Loaner Enables Monitoring of Carbon Flux Dynamics From a Rapidly Thawing Retrogressive Thaw Slump in Arctic Alaska Kyle A. Arndt1, Susan M. Natali1, Patrick Murphy1, Christina Minions1,… More
While everyone else is looking for the first robins to return, flux scientists are hunting for that first beautiful, negative CO2 signal. Spring is almost here: the month of March… More
Instrument towers are not only the most visible part of eddy covariance flux sites, but are also the places where our experiences working as flux scientists are shaped and our… More
