| Description | Background
The Loobos flux tower has one of the longest periods of records worldwide, 20+ years. The data contain much information about the ecosystem’s response of the carbon cycle, water use to (the timing) of drought, heat/cold, ozone, fertilisation, etc. Aims Understand how the ecosystem responds to external forcings. This information will be used to improve vegetation/carbon cycle models. Methods Time series analysis, principal component analysis, neural networks, machine learning, ecosystem modelling. |
