LI-COR offers gas monitoring solutions for land/air interactions, which can be used to assess ecosystem dynamics, emission profiling, plant biochemistry and remote sensing
About
LI-COR can offer real-time monitoring of vegetation growth, as well as carbon sequestration over areas, as well as soil flux and plant monitoring. By focusing on recently reclaimed barren lands, we can track the significant CO2 emissions that will initially occur and demonstrate how planting new vegetation or supporting existing vegetation can transform these emissions into CO2 sequestration over time. This would also enable the client to analyze which planting techniques or vegetation types yield the best results. We could provide a visual display of the transformation from emission to sequestration to the client and to their customers, which could be a very powerful marketing tool for their aims moving forward.
Key Benefits
LI-COR systems are the global standard chosen by major flux networks—including AmeriFlux, AsiaFlux, ChinaFLUX, Chinese Ecosystem Research Network (CERN), Cold and Arid Regions Network (CARN), Integrated Carbon Observatory System (ICOS), and National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). New technical tools can help connect remote sensing, modeling and flux communities to couple ground data (fluxes, proximal sensors, soil data, etc.) with the remote sensing data: GPS-driven PTP protocol synchronizes instrumentation within the flux station, different stations to each other, and all of them to remote sensing data to precisely align remote sensing and flux data in time Footprint size and coordinates computed and stored with each 30- 60 minute flux data file help correctly match flux footprint to satellite, aircraft or drone motion to precisely align remote sensing and flux data in space Specific regions inside the footprint can be selected, and respective fluxes from only the selected regions can be precisely matched with modeled or remotely sensed coverage areas Remote sensing researchers can collaborate with flux researchers to easily access data from flux stations across the globe without having own stations In addition, other key measurements can be utilized within flux station footprint: Current flux stations can be augmented with ground-based optical sensors to deliver SIF, PRI, CCI, NDVI, etc. Full snapshot of the remote sensing pixel can then be constructed including leaf level, ground-based optical sensors, and fluxes from the same exact footprint
