Comparing Manual and Automated-Continuous Chamber Systems for Soil Gas Flux Measurements

Soil gas flux measurements are vital for understanding soil-to-atmosphere gas exchange and assessing the environmental impacts of agricultural practices such as tillage, irrigation, and fertilization. These measurements provide critical insights into greenhouse gas emissions, soil health, and climate-smart farming practices.
But how do manual and automated-continuous chamber systems compare in terms of performance, reliability, and accuracy? Nicholas F. Boogades, a PhD student from Texas Tech University and Texas A&M AgriLife Research, will share his findings on this very topic.
