Creator:: Edwards, Jenny
Abstract:: Just like the in-and-out movement of air in a human lung, the living parts of the forest have regular rhythms of exchange with the air. Across North America, a network of more than 90 towers called AmeriFlux monitors this daily breathing of forests, grasslands, croplands, and shrublands.
