ECOPICS_Mx Plots and map

The weather monitoring network that was integrated was composed of two types of equipment: The ONSET HOBO MX2301 Thermohygrometers, with capacity to record temperature and relative humidity data and, to monitor other weather variables of Interest, the Davis Vantage PRO 2 plus weather stations, with recording capabilities fortemperature, precipitation, wind speed and direction, solar radiation, and barometric pressure.                                                                                                                                    The installation of this equipment was carried out at the top of the altitudinal gradient established by the project, within the plots, distributed in altitudinal bands:

3400-3600: 5 Thermohygrometers

3600-3800: 5 Thermohygrometers

3800-4000: 5 Thermohygrometers

4000-4200: 2 Thermohygrometers

4200-4000: 1 Thermohygrometer

4400-4600: 1 Thermohygrometer

The meteorological stations were installed at the upper extremes of the altitudinal bands.
