This tower, located in a rice field at Finca La Llanada, will continuously measure high-resolution ecosystem-atmosphere exchanges of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2<\/sub>), methane (CH<sub>4<\/sub>), and water vapor(H<sub>2<\/sub>O) associated with rice cultivation. The three wind components and key meteorological variables such as temperature, relative humidity, rainfall or radiation, will also be monitored. The site was established through a collaboration with the <a href=\"https:\/\/eurecat.org\/solucions-climatiques-i-serveis-ecosistemics\/\">CLIMSES <\/a>unit at <a href=\"https:\/\/eurecat.org\/home\/\">Eurecat<\/a> in Amposta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">These measurements will allow us to study which meteorological conditions drive greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane emissions, which are very relevant in rice paddies. We will be able to compare the results with data from an EC tower located in another rice field at the Delta, helping us investigate the effects of conventional versus ecological agricultural practices on greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">We are very excited to explore the new data this site will provide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3455\" src=\"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/atmosphere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/692\/2026\/05\/EC_1-771x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/atmosphere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/692\/2026\/05\/EC_1-771x1024.jpeg 771w, https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/atmosphere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/692\/2026\/05\/EC_1-226x300.jpeg 226w, https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/atmosphere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/692\/2026\/05\/EC_1-768x1021.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/atmosphere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/692\/2026\/05\/EC_1-1156x1536.jpeg 1156w, https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/atmosphere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/692\/2026\/05\/EC_1-1200x1595.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/atmosphere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/692\/2026\/05\/EC_1.jpeg 1204w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"461\" data-id=\"3454\" src=\"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/atmosphere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/692\/2026\/05\/EC_2-1024x461.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/atmosphere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/692\/2026\/05\/EC_2-1024x461.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/atmosphere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/692\/2026\/05\/EC_2-300x135.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/atmosphere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/692\/2026\/05\/EC_2-768x346.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/atmosphere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/692\/2026\/05\/EC_2-1536x691.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/atmosphere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/692\/2026\/05\/EC_2-1200x540.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/atmosphere\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/692\/2026\/05\/EC_2.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the beginning of May, a new Eddy Covariance (EC) flux tower was installed in Delta de l&#8217;Ebre!
