Ecosystem

Erssjön represents a typical lake in the (hemi-)boreal forest landscape.

Measurements

At this lake, we monitor emissions of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4) by manual chambers; water discharge and water chemistry of streams (in and out of the lake) part of SITES-Water program; temperature and oxygen profiles. Erssjön hosts the mesocosm infrastructure, SITES-AquaNet.
