ECOPICS_Mx Plots and map

The weather monitoring network that was integrated was composed of two types of equipment: The ONSET HOBO MX2301 Thermohygrometers, with capacity to record temperature and relative humidity data and, to monitor other weather variables of Interest, the Davis Vantage PRO 2 plus weather stations, with recording capabilities fortemperature, precipitation, wind speed and direction, solar radiation, and barometric pressure. The installation of this equipment was carried out at the top of the altitudinal gradient established by the project, within the plots, distributed in altitudinal bands: 3400-3600: 5 Thermohygrometers 3600-3800: 5 Thermohygrometers 3800-4000: 5 Thermohygrometers 4000-4200: 2 Thermohygrometers 4200-4000: 1 Thermohygrometer 4400-4600: 1 Thermohygrometer The meteorological stations were installed at the upper extremes of the altitudinal bands.
