Last field work day for 2024 π€
Snowy, not too cold but very nice view over the #LTSER area Matschertal/Val Mazia.
Replaced a #SoilTemp logger at 2500m that was destroyed by cows...
No metal cage resists a cow's rage π
Further, checked on of #EuracResearch|s #AlpEnv meteo station at 2400m.

Parallel to other #SoilEcology project, we at the #AlpSoil_Lab of #EuracResearch started with the #SnowBed project to sample #SoilMesofauna in #alpine environment.
Late this year but it is sunny up there!

#AlpSoil_Lab field work day π€
Despite a rainy start, the weather was quite friendly up at 2500m at #EuracResearch's #LTSER site Matsch/Mazia in #Vinschgau, #SouthTyrol, #Italy
Checked some #SoilTemp loggers for fresh #alpine soil temperature data from our (dry) grassland spots.
