Tree stem dendrometer, made by Ecomatik, Germany, and used by the Birmingham Institute of Forest Research, University of Birmingham as part of the Free Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment experiment (FACE), 2017-2020.
In the Free Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment experiment (FACE), scientists purposefully heightened the carbon dioxide levels within an area woodland in order to model the impacts of climate change upon such an environment. The tree stem dendrometer measures CO2 levels indirectly, acting as an ‘electronic tape measure’ to measure radius fluctuations in the trunks of trees.
