More temporal resolution
Repeat measurement cycles throughout the day and observe fast events that manual campaigns may not record.
Field Environmental Monitoring
Gas flows with the temporal resolution which the ecosystem demands.
Solutions Eosense to automate soil gas measurements and turn point campaigns into continuous, reliable and ready time series for analysis.

Why automate
Soil gas fluxes vary over time.
Variations after rain, irrigation, fertilization, thawing or temperature changes can occur between two field visits. Automation captures the process dynamics and reduces gaps in interpretation.
Less intervention
Automate opening, closing, line selection and preprocessing to reduce repetitive tasks in the field.
Flexible experimental design
Combine camera sizes, transparent or opaque versions and different analyzers according to the scientific question.
Spatial scale
Distribute points on the ground and connect up to 16 locations to the same analyzer in multiplexed settings.
Portfolio Eosense
An architecture for each experimental design.
The solutions work in a complementary way: cameras interface with the ecosystem, multiplexers organize sampling, sensors expand coverage and software structure the data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before you set up the system.
What gases can be measured?
Eosense makes the interface and automation of sampling; species and analytical performance depend on the connected analyzer. The settings can include CO2, CH4, N2O, NH3, carbon isotopes and other compatible gases.
What's the difference between 20 and 52-inch cameras?
The 20 cm eosAC-T/O is compact and versatile. The eosAC-LT/LO of 52 cm has greater area and volume, being indicated when there is greater vegetation or need to represent a wider surface.
What do transparent and opaque versions mean?
The transparent version allows light input and can be used in ecosystem liquid exchange studies. Opaque blocks light and is suitable for measurements such as ground breathing. The protocol should reflect the experimental question.
Is it possible to use a Picarro analyzer?
Yes. eosMX, FluxLink and automated cameras provide settings compatible with Picarro analyzers. SENS can evaluate the model, the gases of interest and the peripherals required.
Can the system be installed for long periods?
The equipment is designed for field and prolonged campaigns. Real autonomy depends on energy, communication, environmental conditions, maintenance routine and system configuration.
