AmeriFlux AR-Rom Romano Mar Chiquita BA

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site AR-Rom Romano Mar Chiquita BA. Site Description - The site was at Mar Chiquita coastal lagoon, located in the southeast of Buenos Aires province, Argentina, in an agricultural establishment (“Antonio Romano S. A.”), whose main activity was cattle production. A flux tower was settled within the raised high marsh approximately 6 km from the sea and 2 km from a lagoon. The water body showed two hydrographic areas with marine and inland influence regulated by the sea tides and rainfall respectively. There were sandy dunes occupied by open vegetation composed of grasses and herb species. Physiognomy surrounding the measurement site was the characteristic evergreen grassy landscape with an average canopy height of 0.7 m and little phenological variation throughout the year.
