Description
Data from two new Eddy flux stations in Ribeirão Tanguro, Matto Grosso, Brazil. One in an unmanaged forest (control site) and another one on a farmland (soy beans). They are equipped with the usual sensors for meteorology and Eddy covariance measurements and are powered by solar stations. The towers belong to a joint project with the Brazilian Institute for Amazon Research (IPAM) to manipulate the carbon use efficiency of tropical forest.
