Ozone concentration and CO2 flux monitoring in a belgian forest

Temperate forests, as other ecosystems and oceans, mitigate the accumulation in the atmosphere of CO2, the main responsible for the current climate change. It is, therefore, a necessity to understand how these forests react and will react in a changing environment. That requires long-term monitoring of the environment. Tropospheric ozone is one parameter to monitor as it affects the forest by inducing oxidative stress once inside the leaves. Using 16 years of continuous data from an air quality monitoring station managed by the ISSeP (Institut Scientifique de Service Public) located in a mixed... Mehr ...
