The TMAF flux tower project at Morley is providing a clearer picture of how sugar beet, cover crops and subsequent cereals affect carbon emissions across the rotation, reports Dr Georgina Barratt from BBRO.
The industry-leading carbon measurement project with a pair of flux towers in fields of beet and cereals at Morley is well underway. In this update, BBRO’s Dr Georgina Barrett shares her observations from the first set of results and describes what’s happening – and ahead – in 2025.
The first set of results are in from flux towers installed in neighbouring Morley fields to measure carbon emissions from – and uptake into – sugar beet.
In her second report on the carbon monitoring underway in Morley sugar beet, Dr Georgina Barrett of BBRO explains what has been going well so far– and not so well – in this field.
Visitors to Morley and people who live locally are noticing a new arrival in one of our fields. Dr Georgina Barrett, the research scientist from BBRO overseeing the project hosted and funded by TMAF, describes what’s going on, why and how.
