AN LI-600 TRIAL EXPERIENCE

When Professor David Ellsworth received a trial of the LI-600 Porometer/Fluorometer, he measured treetops at EucFACE, a free air CO2 enrichment research facility located in Australia’s Cumberland Plain Woodland. Ellsworth and his group of undergraduate and master’s students tested the instrument on 100-year-old leaves. They called the LI-600 easy to use, powerful, and flexible.

"I’m impressed that an undergrad student can use this instrument fairly easily — that’s testament to its usability."

- PROFESSOR DAVID ELLSWORTH

Check out the upgraded processor in the LI-6800

When he first used the LI-6800 Portable Photosynthesis System in 2016, Randy Long of the University of California in Santa Barbara called it “a joy to use.” He said his two favorite features of the instrument were its speed and its user interface. Since 2016, the capabilities of the LI-6800 have expanded into applications including soil gas flux, insect respiration, and an aquatic chamber.

Continuing this trend of innovation, the LI-6800 now includes a Quad Core Plus processor in all new LI-6800s and as an upgrade for all instruments purchased from 2016 until Spring 2021. The processor replaces a single-core processor and allows the instrument’s touch screen to respond instantly, giving you faster access to your measurements of a plant’s response to rapidly changing conditions.

Contact us for more information about the Portable Photosynthesis System or for details about upgrading your LI-6800.

See how Finnish researchers measured soil CO₂ and CH₄ exchange in a drained peatland

Researchers at Luke Natural Resources Institute in Finland are using the LI-COR LI-7810 CH4/CO2/H2O Trace Gas Analyzer for measuring soil CO2 and CH4 exchange in the drained peatland site Ränskälänkorpi. The group has measured heterotrophic soil respiration by limiting root growth using a trenching method and root prevention fabric.

Watch the video to hear them explain how the LI-COR Trace Gas Analyzer stabilizes quickly to save you time in your research.

STATIONARY CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENTS AND MOBILE MONITORING

Using stationary concentration measurements and mobile monitoring of carbon and methane emissions, researchers are addressing the urban impact on greenhouse gas emissions. In Part 2 of our webinar series on measuring urban greenhouse gas emissions and concentrations, learn how stationary concentration measurements and mobile applications for analyzers can be used to provide real data with actionable insights.

In case you missed it: Part 1 of the webinar

QUANTIFYING AN URBAN CARBON FOOTPRINT WITH DIRECT MEASUREMENTS OF GAS EMISSIONS

Eddy covariance measurements of urban emissions can provide higher resolution data with better precision than proxy estimates and indirect measurements. For example, direct eddy covariance measurements can help determine if efforts to reduce emissions are effective by quantifying the change over time. Learn how you can use this information for urban planning, zoning, transportation decisions, policies, regulations, and safety for urban development at local and national levels.

New pCO₂ and DIC solutions with integrated LI-COR analyzers

AN INTEGRATED pCO₂ AND DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON SYSTEM FOR OCEAN SCIENCE

Find out how LI-COR CO₂ analyzers and Apollo SciTech's applications of the analyzers in automated systems work to measure dissolved inorganic carbon or partial pressure of CO₂. In a webinar hosted on May 4, Apollo SciTech introduced its pCO₂ and Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) systems. Apollo's DIC system is based on the LI-COR LI-7815 CO2/H₂O Trace Gas Analyzer and the LI-850 CO₂/H₂O Analyzer.

View the recording to see a short introduction of the LI-7815 and the LI-850 before Apollo SciTech presents an overview of its integrated systems designed for ocean science.
