Wetlands are an important component of the New England landscape, the Harvard Forest has its share; about 25% of the landscape is classified wetland or very poorly drained. Read how the The AmeriFlux instrument loaner program was used for a new pilot study at Harvard Forest.
Learn how the AmeriFlux Loaner Program helped a new site, US-NSW (Newman Seasonal Wetlands), get running faster after supply chain disruptions led to product delays.
The ongoing rise in atmospheric methane concentration creates global urgency towards understanding sources and sinks and potential interventions to reduce methane emissions. Wetlands are significant sources of methane and many… More

Routinely, we have treated land segments as silos and gravitated our perspectives towards fluxes that are directed upward and downward. If you have ever had a leaky sink, one way to fix it would be to put a bucket underneath. But wouldn’t it make more sense to find and fix the core problem that is causing the leak? Nature perhaps is similar to the leaky sink, but on a far more complex scale, and the core problems are often from many different sources and sinks. So, what cause(s) our control volume to leak and unable to conserve energy?
