LTAR 18 gas sampling -

BCSE 13 gas sampling -

LTAR, BCSE Hydrosense sampling - Emily

T5 understory ANPP sampling, set LFLIT traps. NS trap… 2.4mN, 1.2mW of station 5 to SE corner of trap, frame oriented with short ends on the north/south; label ex. T5R1 NS EW trap… 2.4mS, 1.2mW of station 3 to NE corner of trap, frame oriented with short ends on the east/west; label ex. T5R1 EW. Collect newly fallen poplar leaves within frame as LFLIT (if any). Clip all biomass rooted inside frame with scissors – as close to the ground as possible. Bag as LIVE to sort in the field lab later (store in black bags in fridge). Use electric trimmers to trim back plants outside the frame to keep them from falling over the frame. Leave the frame in place and lay a screen inside it. Push the screen down inside the frame so it rests on the ground. Use clips (at least 6/trap) to attach the screen to the wooden frame on all sides. - Alyssa, Jon, Emily, Sam, Bella, Glori, Jordyn, Brian

The usb to serial pigtail between the rpi and the RF407 radio in the BCSE gas trailer appears to have failed. I replaced it with one from the ICOS system.
