Description

![alt text](envidat.ch/dataset/b763c4e1-2de3-4e8f-9bb7-2ca533624060/resource/b6e747c6-7a85-43e0-958b-3522f370bbad/download/lwf_laegeren.jpg "LWF Lägeren") This research site is located on the southern slope of the Lägern, which forms the eastern most part of the Jura mountains, within a managed mixed deciduous forest. The forest is highly diverse, dominated by beech, but also including ash, maple, spruce and fir trees.

Eddy covariance flux measurements were started in April 2004. The site was part of the international CarboEurope IP network and currently part of the following national networks:

  • Long-term Forest Ecosystem Research (LWF)
  • Swiss FluxNet The site measurements are jointly run by the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA), the groups Grassland Sciences and Land-Climate Dynamics from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, the unit Soil Science & Biogeochemistry from the University of Zurich, and the Swiss Federal Research Institute (WSL).
