Newsheadline bar AgLab featured article on precision agriculture  Megan Metz - 2023 LTAR Support Scientist Award for "*outstanding commitment to leading and supporting network data management activities focused on making Eddy Co-variance data findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable for use by LTAR scientists and beyond*."  *Agricultural management accentuates interannual variability in water fluxes but not carbon fluxes in the U.S. Corn Belt*. Schreiner-Mcgraw, A.P., Wood, J.D., Metz, M.E., Sadler, E.J., Sudduth, K.A. 2023.  Agricultural and Forest Meteorology. 333. Article 109420. Key points: A no-till cropping system has higher carbon fluxes than a conventional field.
A native prairie has higher evapotranspiration than the agricultural sites.
The conventional field is most sensitive to changes in environmental conditions.
Inter-annual variability in evaporation is accentuated by agricultural management.  January 2023 - Dr. Kristen S.
