Früebüel (ZG)
Site description
Früebüel (CH-Fru) is one of the three grasslands within the Swiss FluxNet. It is a medium intensively managed grassland at 1000 m asl. The adjacent farm and facilities are part of the external page Agro-Vet Strickhof. Eddy covariance flux measurements were started in August 2005 (tower coordinates: 47°06'57.0" N and 8°32'16.0" E; WGS84 47.115833, 8.537778; at 982 m asl).
