In the summer of 2024, we started doing some chamber measurements of methane flux at the Alligator River site. Sebastian is interested in knowing how trees affect the transport of methane to the atmosphere so he developed a sampling campaign that includes soil and stem chamber flux measurements.
Sampling in this peatland is a bit challenging due to mosquitoes and inundated conditions but the work is very interesting as we already see a huge amount of methane coming out of the soil and the stems of these trees!
