Griffin Methods

To determine an accurate estimate of the carbon budget of Griffin forest, we have employed several methods. Micrometeorological techniques could allow us to estimate the net annual site carbon budget other methods were used as checks on this method and to allow a breakdown of the carbon budget into components.
