Measuring station: Am Großen Bruch

The study site "Am Grossen Bruch" is mainly covered by extensively managed grassland used as pasture. Since 2012 carbon and water fluxes were measured with the eddy covariance technique. Additionally since 2013 also the methane fluxes were recorded, to determine the water level dependent fluxes of the former fen area. Due to the fact that this area is extensively managed, grazing cows are observed to separate their contribution to the methane fluxes of the ecosystem.
