1. No power for the fence of soil CO2 profile system.
2. Tower site worked well. The attachment of computer need fix.
3. Floor and Vaira Flux systems shut down because of “LVD”. After restart the power regulator, flux systems are working.
4. Swap Li-7500 in floor site (Remove sn 0073, install sn 0418). #73 will be sent back to Li-cor for re-calibration.
5. Measure soil moisture.
6. Collect leave samples: Vaira grass, Tonzi understory grass
