Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia - August 24, 2024 – The Eddy Covariance Workshop for ChinaFlux was successfully held from August 20 to 24, 2024, at the Grassland Station of the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Regional Planning, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia. The event brought together leading experts and young scholars to explore advanced methods in climate change, carbon cycle studies, and eddy covariance technology.
The workshop began with a series of keynote speeches covering topics such as carbon sequestration, remote sensing of ecosystems, and the impact of precipitation on vegetation productivity. Participants gained hands-on experience with eddy covariance systems, learning to operate and process data using tools like EddyPro and Tovi.
Distinguished speakers, including Liukang Xu, Jiahong Li, Frank Griessbaum, and Paul Naethe, conducted in-depth sessions on the theory, experimental design, and applications of eddy covariance technology and solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence. Participants also engaged in practical modules that focused on greenhouse gas flux measurements and photosynthesis monitoring.
The event concluded with a field visit to the Hulunbuir Stipa Krylovii Comprehensive Observation Plot, providing participants with the opportunity to apply their newly acquired skills in a real-world setting. This workshop represents a significant step forward in enhancing the understanding and application of eddy covariance systems within the ChinaFlux community.
