Some photos at Tambopata in this month, every year census of the trees and monthly measuring of the experiments

All the best

Many thanks to terrestrial Lidar team in Peru for the last campaign in GEM's plots, Madre de Dios and Cusco very nice experience work with Jose, Harm, Alie, Alvaro, Karen, Sheila and Filio . some photos of the team and others

All the best

Dear team GEM

Upload some photos of our last campaign of soil sampling from Andes PAN1, PAN2 and ACJ. Many thanks to Eric Oblitas, Dr. Beto Quezada from IMPA's lab (Brazil), our coworkers and students.

Here are sketch maps of 4 permanent plots from ANDES ZONE in PERU,
Trocha Unión 4 (TU4)
Acjanaco (ACJ)
Wayqecha (WAY)
Esperanza (ESP)

Dear Yadvinder and Team

Photos of our last campaign at Pantiacolla ( last mountain of the Andes). Now we're ready to measure all plots every month, from tree line to Amazon forest (eight plots).
Many thanks to all the guys have been working hard with us at the field and to rest of the team.

All the best

Dear All

Would anyone have a spreadsheet that shows how to calibrate the soil water content measured with the Hydrosense? I have taken the required measurements in the lab (weights and water contents of a determined volume of soil), and I just want to be sure about the calculations that I have to do.

Thanks a lot!
Have a good weekend!

Dear All

An update from the Chilean project!
We collected tree-ring cores in both study sites (Alerce Costero and Alerce Andino) this summer to determine woody productivity. Samples are being processed at the moment to get the annual tree growth.
We also just measured photosynthesis and respiration in Alerces and other species in both study areas. Finally, we just installed new ingrowth cores in both study sites, since the old ones are not working fine anymore. The soil is very wet almost all year round and extracting roots every three months makes the soil to lose its structure, so roots don't grow that well through the mesh.
It is always good to learn from the experience!

All the best!

Hi team!!!
Here some photos from our last trip to the Meteorological Station of Acjanaco; We repared and replaced sensors of wind speed, atmosferic pressure, humidity and temperature.
Regards

Dear Yadvinder and team
I'm sending some pictures about for intensive monitoring carbon cycle in six plots. The instalation and repairin all experiments from Trocha Union to San Pedro.
Best regards

Hi Walter and team
Thanks for all the great photos. Walter: what do you think of the Pantiacolla sites - would these be fine as proposed new GEM plots?

Photos Tres Cruces and of the new plot close to Acjanaco

Dear Master Dan

Some photos of my last trip in Pantiacolla, Last mountain of the Andes from 400 to 850 m of elevation.
Don't worry jefe, I will send more photos from Tono, San pedro, Trocha Union and Wayqecha.

All the best
Your student of roots, now I have a lot roots.

Walter

Dear Cecile

Great idea, we'll be uploading many photos from Peru to GEM.
All the best
Walter

Walter, great news to have the TU4 plot installed as well. William is planning to build a camping platform there that will make the work much easier. I look forward to good news from Pantiacolla!

Dear Yadvinder

We finished two plots TU4 and Ajcanaco. Tomorrow I'll be go to Pantiacolla with Percy, to explore and find 1000 m elevation and will return to Cusco Sunday o Monday with a good weather. Rest of my team will go to Wayqecha and after to San Pedro repair some experiments.
we had a course how install the dendrometer bands in here some photos our trip for tres cruces and Acjanaco. Tuesday I will send you the coordenates of 1000 m.

Walter and team, it is excellent to see the photos from the new treeline plot. It looks a fascinating forest, and the highest plot in the whole GEM network...!

Does anyone have photos of litterfall sorting? Photos of the team sorting litter, fruit litterfall, flower litterfall, etc. would be great.
Thank you
