Research Project: Texas Water Observatory Monitoring at the Riesel Watersheds

Location: Grassland Soil and Water Research Laboratory

Project Number: 3098-21600-001-070-A
Project Type: Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Jul 15, 2022
End Date: Jul 14, 2024

Objective:
The objective of this work is to continue monitoring carbon and water cycles for the Texas Gulf Coast Long-Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) Network.

Approach:
Eddy covariance and phenocams will be used to monitor carbon and water fluxes in three fields at the Riesel Watersheds that are a part of the LTAR common cropland experiment: 1) business as usual; 2) aspirational; and 3) remnant native prairie.
