Site Description
Skogaryd is designed and state of the art equipped for interdisciplinary landscape and atmospheric studies that encompasses the complete catchment from a pristine bog via streams, riparian zones and forests to lakes, as well as the subsequent exchange between the atmosphere and surface waters The station also elucidating Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from drained organic forest soils and are used for testing ecosystem models. The terrestrial sites at Skogaryd measure GHG emissions with eddy covariance (EC), CO2, H2O and N2O/CH4 (site dependent) and abiotic/biotic variables. They also have automatic stream station (flow, DIC/DOC etc.) and will be equipped with cameras/spectrometers for phenological studies and satellite ground ...

Geology
Skogaryd represents a typical south-west Swedish setting with a northeast ? southwest oriented valley that opens into the Uddevalla fjord. The valley is cut in deeply in the underlying gneissic bedrock which is composed foremost of siliceous metamorphic rocks derived from ~1600 Ma granites and volcanic rocks, with minor mafic and intermediate intrusive rocks. They were metamorphosed during the Sveconorwegian orogeny about 1030 Ma ago. The valley fill and quaternary sediments covering the bedrock is dominated by sandy-gravelly glacio-fluvial and postglacial sands and glacio-marine clays. The central part of the valley is covered by peat of considerable thickness that is overlying the clays.
Vegetation
A Boreonemoral spruce forest (including both low herb types and Vaccinium types), drained mire ecosystems includes both bogs and fens
Soils
Histosol, Podzol, UMbrisol
Hydrology
The different ecosystems in the catchment are all connected via the same stream. Two smaller lakes are also included in the stream system.The connections between terrestrial and aquatic environments, and the processes in the aquatic habitats will be a primary focus along with the terrestrial studies to allow full catchment biogeochemical assessments.
