Assessment and Measurement of CO2, CH4, and N2O Fluxes with Eosense Automated Chambers 

Eosense provides automated soil gas flux chambers for measuring emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Two chamber designs are available: the larger eosAC-LT/LO, and the smaller eosAC. The eosAC-LT/LO is well suited to agricultural applications. Its large size can accommodate vegetation, and a base extension can be added to the chamber to study emissions throughout the growing season. The chamber can also be made from either opaque or transparent material so the effects of photosynthesis can be either excluded or included in flux measurements.

The eosMX recirculating multiplexer can be used to connect up to 16 chambers to a single gas analyzer, allowing for continuous monitoring from multiple locations. This is particularly useful for plot experiments where the effects of different treatment applications are assessed for their impacts on GHG emissions.

All Eosense automated chamber systems are fully compatible with a variety of gas analyzers. The system includes all the hardware and software tools necessary for collecting, storing, and processing soil gas flux data in almost any environment.

For figure 1, Eosense chambers are available in large and small sizes, as well as opaque and transparent designs.
