Extend your research to plants and the atmosphere

What happens with soil has a lot to do with vegetation, or the lack of it. How well are plants taking CO2 from the air and putting it into soil? Does it stay there, and for how long? Learn about leaf-level CO2 dynamics with plant physiology measurements. Automate and scale-up to the ecosystem to measure CO2, H2O, and CH4 with eddy covariance systems. Learn more about LI-COR ecosystem monitoring solutions.

What makes LI-COR different?

LI-COR offers hardware, software, and analyzers that are based on extensive scientific research and testing. Patented designs minimize disruption of natural soil gas transport across the soil surface and record high-precision flux measurements to evaluate spatial and temporal variability.

Together, this integrated system provides an entirely comprehensive research solution for measuring large- and small-scale events—including CO2, CH4, or N2O greenhouse gas emissions.

Designed for flexibility and convenience

LI-COR soil gas flux systems combine more than 20 years of experience with the latest innovations for flexibility and convenience.

Tailored for dependable practicality

Each LI-COR gas analyzer is portable, durable, and simple to deploy—allowing you to take CO2, CH4, and N2O survey and long-term measurements with ease.

Engineered to reduce artificial impact

The importance of soil gas flux chambers to take accurate measurements is often underestimated. An inherent challenge to chamber design is the influence the chamber may have on measurements.

All LI-COR chambers are designed to minimize chamber interference on the natural soil gas flux, and gas production and consumption, leading to accurate, consistent measurements.
