Skogaryd Research Catchment is located 100 km north of Gothenburg in Sweden. The base measurement program at Skogaryd includes greenhouse gas (GHG) flux measurements from terrestrial and limnic ecosystem, using a range of different methods, as well as stream flow and chemical analyses. The Skogaryd Research Catchment promotes biogeochemical, ecological, eco-physiological and within-canopy chemical research. Researchers are provided with a high-tech infrastructure in the field. Advanced instruments are used for flux measurements of abiotic and biotic parameters. Cabins in Skogaryd are used for lodging, office, education, and storage. A field crew with local knowledge and expertise on monitoring instrumentation can assist during fieldwork. A workshop for wood and plastics hand craft as well as work related to electronic repairs and development are provided. A nearby farm provides an advance workshop for repair of field equipment.
