This analysis reports the impact of different averaging intervals on CO2 flux in a subtropical Moso bamboo forest, suggesting optimal practices for measurement.
Key Points
The aim is to assess how varying averaging intervals influence CO2 flux calculations in a Moso bamboo forest.
Applied the eddy covariance method to measure CO2 flux in a Moso bamboo forest.
Compared flux measurements using different averaging intervals of 15 to 60 minutes.
Conducted observations during winter with high relative humidity.
Bamboo forest exhibited a significant CO2 uptake rate even in winter.
Averaging interval notably affected CO2 flux estimates, particularly when relative humidity was over 80%.
Recommended a 60-minute averaging interval for accurate CO2 flux measurements.
