Greenhouse Gas Monitoring and Modeling
AgriGHG Flux Network, built with producer partners.
AgriGHG Flux Network
The AgriGHG Flux Network pairs eddy covariance flux towers with automated soil chambers and trace gas analyzers to measure what matters at the field scale. Towers quantify net ecosystem CO2 exchange, evapotranspiration, and surface energy fluxes, while soil chambers integrated with trace gas analyzers provide near-continuous soil-atmosphere flux measurements of CO2, N2O, and CH4. Sites are established with producer collaborators to reflect on-farm management and capture seasonal variability. By linking above-canopy fluxes with direct soil GHG measurements, the network delivers high-quality datasets for analysis and modeling and supports stronger methods and decision-support tools for row-crop systems.
Project Highlight: Texas
Conservation and Sustainability Initiative
Our project support NRCS’s Advancing Markets for Producers (AMP) program by providing field-scale data that document outcomes under producer-managed conservation practices. These datasets strengthen validation and help develop emerging market opportunities, enabling commodities to be marketed with credible evidence of sound stewardship and conservation performance.
