The measurement of soil respiration with the enclosure-based methods, such as the accumulation chamber, is carried out using cameras that are opaque to solar radiation when only the component deriving from the biochemical reactions of the soil is to be measured, excluding the contribution of the photosynthetic activity. In nature, photosynthesis is a process used…
A reliable and effective methodology to monitor CO2 flux from soil: the case of Lipari Island (Sicily, Italy) Highlights: A new unit for continuous monitoring of CO2 flux has been proposed / Data processing methodology for the identification of anomalies in CO2 flux time series is discussed / Field test was performed at the old kaolin…
The solid waste landfills as source of atmosphere contamination The municipal solid waste landfills are often considered as important sources of atmosphere contamination due to diffusive emissions of landfill gas (LFG) from the cover. As known LFG is composed by greenhouse gases, i.e. CH4 and CO2, and other compounds present in trace with toxic and…
