The greenhouse gas static chamber collection provides measurements from field deployed static chamber systems over varying ground cover types and treatments in agricultural environments. Flux estimates are provided for all gases, methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrous oxide (N2O), which are available and passing quality controls for a specific sampling sequence. The semi-automated static chamber system measures soil–atmosphere GHG fluxes using a closed static chamber approach combined with automated headspace sampling into evacuated 12mL glass vials for subsequent laboratory analysis.
