Access to wetland research field
On this page
The Inganeva wetland plot (12.42 ha) is an open-ditched peatland cultivated according to organic farming standards. Water levels in the area can be regulated using dam wells in the open ditches. The dammed area covers half of the field, and water samples can be taken from the dam wells. These wells also include flow measurement for overflow water.
The eddy covariance tower located in the area continuously measures carbon dioxide emissions. Other greenhouse gases can be measured using portable devices. Additionally, the area features continuous evapotranspiration monitoring.
The service includes implementation of agreed experiments, greenhouse gas measurements, water sampling, and/or vegetation measurements. The area supports soil treatment trials and plot experiments, taking into account the field’s ditch layout.
Sample collection
- Vegetation samples during harvest.
- Water and greenhouse gas samples, e.g., weekly.
- Continuous carbon dioxide and evapotranspiration measurements.
- Optional soil moisture measurements using sensors.
Target groups
Researchers, research groups, research communities, research networks, research projects, research organizations, companies
Access type
- Physical, remote or hybrid access.
- Minimum reservation duration for vegetation measurements: 1 year.
- Other measurements can be conducted over shorter periods.
- Sensor testing can be arranged for durations of a week, month, or year.
Service usage restrictions
- The site is cultivated according to organic farming standards.
- Importing plant diseases, pests, and GMO plant material is prohibited.
Information to support the application
- Crop species, fertilization (organic), and preferred crop rotation.
- Measurements during the growing season and winter, including intervals.
- Desired experimental treatments and harvest schedule.
- Water level regulation throughout the year (target level from soil surface).
- Required yield measurements from the area or plots.
- For soil treatment trials: machinery used, fertilization, crop species, and cultivation years.
