Soil fluxes of carbon dioxide measured in the demonstration site in Foggia

Carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes from soil measured in demonstration site in Foggia up to 31/10/2022

Graphs show the cumulated fluxes of CO2 from soil, in the various phases of the crop rotation in the Conventional and the Efficient Cropping Systems. Carbon dioxide fluxes are measured by mean of 8 automated chambers, 4 in the Conventional Cropping System (CCS), and 4 in the Efficient Cropping System (ECS). Values in the graphs are the cumulated value of the daily average of the measurements made in the CCS and ECS systems, respectively.

Data are under validation, so they are not to be considered as final.
