Author: Siyan Ma
Others: Joe, Chinese Visitors

Summary: Showing Chinese Visitors the site, standard fieldwork.


When: Date: 5/4/2012 , Day: 125 , Watch Time: 9:30 am .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan, Joe, and visitors from China; met Laurie at Tonzi. She was collecting soil samples for soil total C and N.
Weather: cloudy
Phenology: grasses started the development stage; oak leaves almost fully expanded.

Lush green grass
Overcast and green grass at Vaira

Summary
  1. checked and downloaded data at Tower, Floor, and Vaira (Joe)
  2. Calibrated Li-800 in the field. (Joe)
  3. collect grass samples
  4. checked grass heights in the field (VR: 44 cm; TZ: 29 cm)
  5. Read dendrometers
  6. Measured soil moisture
  7. Measure groundwater well:
