Abstract

Integrated Flux Observation and Simulation (INFOS) A contribution to subproject BIATEX-2 L Grunhage and H-D Haenel Institute for Plant Ecology, University ofGiessen, Heinrich-Buff-Ring 38, D-35392 Giessen, Germany For the assessment of potential effects of a changing chemical and physical climate on terrestrial ecosystems the Environmental Monitoring and Climate Impact Research Station Linden was established in an extensively managed semi-natural grassland ecosystem near Giessen in 1993/94 (50°32' N; 8°41.3' E; 172 m a.s.L). For details see Grunhage et al. (1996). The main objectives of the Linden Atmosphere/Phyto sphere Interaction Study (LAPIS) are the continuous monitoring of ozone fluxes and the modelling of trace gas and energy exchange between the phytosphere and the atmosphere. The investigation site is an official part of the Hessen Air Quality Monitoring Network. All
