A micrometeorology experiment to measure fluxes of CO2 and water vapour within the Moanatuatua peatland (Waikato, New Zealand) was initiated in late 1998. The site has operated for two years and was dismantled in December 2000.

This website describes the experiment, its operation and preliminary results. Follow the links below, and feel free to contact the researchers listed in the contact page.
