FLUXNET

FLUXNET is a global network of scientific stations that measure how plants and ecosystems exchange gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy with the atmosphere. By using specialized instruments, it provides detailed data on processes like photosynthesis and respiration across different environments. This information helps scientists understand how ecosystems respond to climate change, influence carbon cycles, and affect the Earth's climate system. Essentially, FLUXNET acts as a worldwide monitoring system, providing crucial insights into the biological and environmental interactions that sustain life and regulate our planet’s atmosphere.
