MEGA - Mobile Ecosystem Gas-exchange Analyser for Australian landscapes

这一移动式生态系统气体交换分析仪将能够持续监测多种独特的澳大利亚生态系统中的水、能量、碳和氮交换，这些生态系统包括：从低树冠森林(高达20米)和植树造林到湿地和农业放牧、种植、园艺和葡萄种植系统。这种研究能力提供了好处和机会，例如1)社区资源2)碳和水预算的监测工具3)流动过程实验室4)模型验证的数据。将确定生态系统对不断变化的温度和长期干旱的敏感性和脆弱性。

This Mobile Ecosystem Gas-exchange Analyser will be able to continuously monitor water, energy, carbon and nitrogen exchange in a multitude of uniquely Australian ecosystems: from low-canopy forests (up to 20m) and afforested plantations to wetlands and agricultural grazing, cropping, horticulture and viticulture systems. This research capacity provides benefits and opportunities such as 1) community resource 2) monitoring tool for carbon and water budgets 3) mobile process laboratory 4) data for model validation. The susceptibility and vulnerability of ecosystems to changing temperature and extended drought will be determined.
