Yearly follow-up of methane turbulent exchange over an intensively grazed pasture in Belgium.
Methane emissions account for 8 % of the EU-15 GHG emissions and livestock generates 40 % of these emissions (European Commission, 2009). These fluxes are mainly measured in metabolic chambers with the drawback of bringing the cattle in an unfamiliar environment. Recent technological advances in spectroscopy now permit methane flux measurement using eddy covariance. This micrometeorological met...
متن کاملEddy Covariance Measurements over Grasslands
In this chapter we first provide a historic overview of – and outline some of the peculiarities associated with – grassland eddy covariance flux measurements, elaborate on the additional terms that need to be quantified when estimating the grassland net ecosystem carbon balance and finally discuss some of the challenges associated with upcoming nitrous oxide and methane flux measurements in man...
متن کاملNear-zero methane emission from an abandoned boreal peatland pasture based on eddy covariance measurements
Although estimates of the annual methane (CH4) flux from agriculturally managed peatlands exist, knowledge of controls over the variation of CH4 at different time-scales is limited due to the lack of high temporal-resolution data. Here we present CH4 fluxes measured from May 2014 to April 2016 using the eddy covariance technique at an abandoned peatland pasture in western Newfoundland, Canada. ...
متن کاملA compact and stable eddy covariance set-up for methane measurements using off-axis integrated cavity output spectroscopy
A Fast Methane Analyzer (FMA) is assessed for its applicability in a closed path eddy covariance field set-up in a peat meadow. The FMA uses off-axis integrated cavity output spectroscopy combined with a highly specific narrow band laser for the detection of CH4 and strongly reflective mirrors to obtain a laser path length of 2–20×103 m. Statistical testing and a calibration experiment showed h...
متن کاملEddy covariance methane measurements at a Ponderosa pine plantation in California
Long term methane flux measurements have been mostly performed with plant or soil enclosure techniques on specific components of an ecosystem. New fast response methane analyzers make it possible to use the eddy covariance (EC) technique instead. The EC technique is advantageous because it allows continuous flux measurements integrating over a larger and more representative area including the c...
