Version: 0.1.0

Summary: The purpose of this procedure is to explain how to measure greenhouse gas emissions using the Li-Cor 7820 trace gas analyzer and the 8200 smart chamber combo. Pre-installed soil collars are used to take point measurements of soil N2O emissions, soil water content and temperature, and other soil dynamics. The 8200 smart chamber’s wireless hotspot and software allows taking measurements in real-time. The scope of this procedure is limited to the usage of a Li-Cor LI-7820 combined with a 8200 smart chamber. All materials and methods specifically are used for this setup. If other devices are used to substitute the necessary materials, do not refer to this SOP.
