At the EIP site in Dedelow, preparatory work begins on the development of an innovative, automatic measuring system.
For this purpose, on the CarboZALF-D area a gantry crane facility will be constructed, which will enable the automated measurement of gas flows of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in conjunction with the continuous recording of plant growth parameters. The gantry crane will cover 48 small parcels of land on which several experimental factors (soil type, N-fertilisation, carbon content in the topsoil) will be varied.
