The environment and vegetation of the flux measurement site near Skukuza, Kruger National Park

The environment and vegetation of the flux measurement site near Skukuza, Kruger National Park

The SAFARI-2000 intensive study site is located 13 km WSW of Skukuza. Detailed measurements of the exchanges of energy, water, carbon dioxide and other substances between the savanna and the atmosphere have been made there since April 2000. This paper provides basic information regarding the climate...
