The stable carbon isotope 13C and its pools in and flows between soil, vegetation, and atmosphere in different plant communities of the Fichtelgebirge

BITÖK-A 7

From 01/1998 to 12/2000

Principal Investigator: Thomas Foken
Staff: Nina Buchmann, Johannes Ruppert, Bodo Wichura
Grant: 0339476 C Grundlagen zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung von Ökosystemen bei veränderter Umwelt

The A7-Project activities were focused to the investigation of the applicability and the decision for an adequate variant of the eddy-accumulation method. The underlying surface conditions for the planned measurement site (forest site Weidenbrunnen) were studied using the method of normalized turbulence characteristics. Tools for the examination of coherent boundary layer structures above the forest were developed by another project. The eddy-accumulation system was designed and has been prepared.
