Battery operated, field instrument for measurement of Soil CO2 exchange, Soil moisture and temperature. The automatic design of the ACE station allows soil area being analyzed to be exposed to ambient conditions between measurement cycles. At the user time interval the chamber will automatically close to carry out the soil flux measurement. Once these measurements are completed the chamber will automatically return to its open position. This system can measure soil moisture and soil temperature with optional sensors. 6 Soil temperature and 4 Soil Moisture sensors can be connected at a time.
