SoWa Research Infrastructure was merged into the Institute of Soil Biology and Biogeochemistry of the Biological Centre of the CAS, v. v. i.. No further updates will be performed on this website.
Experimental catchment will consist of a set of instruments placed within two parallel microcatchments, which allows the measurement of the input of water and nutrients, along with outputs of water and nutrients from the catchment and the balance of OM accumulated in the catchment. Complex balance of matter and energy in the catchment can then be computed. Installed devices will include: devices with data logger for measuring and sampling of surface and subsurface runoff, including drainage and sealing elements. Eddy tower at each catchment will measure the balance of CO2 and water vapor between the ecosystem and the surrounding atmosphere.
