6804 2024-08-05 Lab none Tested Lab none This chamber is reading low CO2 values ~200 and trying to reset it with a performance check seems to fail.
6478 2023-11-13 Tonzi-SoilCO2 Forced Diffusion Open Removed Lab none Removed because CO2 readings seem to be too low. We tried a performance check but missed being able to reset the offset. Brought to the lab for testing. The fluxes were zero.
5924 2022-04-27 Lab none Installed Tonzi-SoilCO2 Forced Diffusion Open Reinstalled at Tree 1 after testing in the lab. I had removed it because I thought it was broken but it might have been reading funny because it was lying on its side. It seemed okay in the lab. I installed it in a slightly different location with more litter on the soil surface.
5786 2022-04-12 Tonzi-SoilCO2 Forced Diffusion Tree 1 Removed Lab none Removed from Tonzi Tree 1 for testing. Identical CO2 readings (zero flux). Chamber was on its side which would cause this symptom - brought in for testing.
5404 2021-07-29 Tonzi-SoilCO2 Forced Diffusion Tree 1 Maintenance Tonzi-SoilCO2 Forced Diffusion Tree 1 I unfastened this chamber and laid it on its side for a performance check.
Average Flux: 0.0, 0.04 STDEV
Average ATM: 242.5ppm, 51.9C
Average Soil: 243.0ppm, 51.7C
I reset the baseline CO2 concentration to 400ppm. This chamber does not have a sun shield and even though it was in the shade under the trees its temperatures were very high.
4933 2020-10-22 Lab none Installed Tonzi-SoilCO2 Forced Diffusion Tree 1 Installed at the under tree location at Tonzi to replace sn FD20180068 which has been reading zero CO2 concentration.
4829 2020-10-05 Bouldin Alfalfa Forced Diffusion A Removed Lab none Removed from Bouldin Alfalfa to check on it's low CO2 concentration readings. Replaced by sn FD20180047
4775 2020-09-23 Bouldin Corn Forced Diffusion B Moved Bouldin Alfalfa Forced Diffusion A Moved from BC to BA to replace sn FD20160001, which was brought back to the lab for testing
4796 2020-09-01 Bouldin Corn Forced Diffusion B Moved Bouldin Corn Forced Diffusion B Moved tower and soil sensors back from field in preparation for corn harvest. Chambers were reinstalled under the tower.
4512 2020-05-29 Lab none Installed Bouldin Corn Forced Diffusion B Reinstalled in normal density corn just in front of tower
4422 2020-04-17 Bouldin Corn Forced Diffusion B Removed Lab none Removed from BC and brought back to the lab because there will be tractor work on the field soon.
4324 2020-01-07 Lab none Installed Bouldin Corn Forced Diffusion B Reinstalled at Bouldin Corn after being removed when the field was flooded. Installed near previous location on 12 inch collars.
4733 2019-12-20 Bouldin Corn Forced Diffusion B Removed Lab none Removed from the field by Tyler due to being partially submerged by winter flooding.
4730 2019-11-14 Lab none Installed Bouldin Corn Forced Diffusion B Installed in the corn field near Tyler's southern soil gas ports
