CO₂ measurments in the mangrove forest of Bonaire, Dutch Caribbean

To measure CO₂ we used a CO₂ sampling data logger from the company CO2Meter, Inc. (https://www.co2meter.com/). The model was a CM-0002 gas detector handheld which has a measurement range of 0 – 10.000 ppm (0-1%) CO₂ with an accuracy of ± 30ppm ± 3%. The handheld is using the non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) method to determine CO₂ concentrations. Before each measurement the CO₂ data logger were calibrated to outdoor air which was assumed to have a CO₂ concentration of 400 ppm. At each sampling plot at low tide three CO2-Meters were positioned adjacent to each other but not covering pneumatophore... Mehr ...
