Spent the last 2 days collecting LiCOR curves in the understory. All seems well, making some improvements to the protocol and now checking the data quality to make sure all is well. Need to finish the leaf oven today and get the collected leaves starting to dry.
Heading to the field, LiCOR strapped to my back with our fancy weatherproof backpack, the tripod on my front. Second trip necessary to carry the battery supply and additional field gear (including the laser georeferencing system).
System working collecting a curve sequence from a invasive ginger in a gap area in the ‘valley of the giants’ forest. Two huge trees fell in the last few days in this area close to where we are working, strange…. (and a bit scary!).
