Bosco Fontana

The Bosco Fontana forest site is located within a mixed oak–hornbeam forest close to Mantua in the Po Valley. It is part of the Long-Term Environmental Research (LTER) network and an ICOS ecosystem site. A 41-m tower is equipped with turbulence instrumentation (plus a second level blow canopy). At the tower top the three wind components, temperature, water vapour, carbon dioxide and ozone fluxes are measured. There is also a vertical profile of mean temperature, humidity and concentration measurements along the tower, as well as soil and chamber measurements surrounding the tower.
