Mitra (Evora)

Fluxnet Information
Site Name:	Mitra (Evora)
Description:	The study area is in the southern part of Portugal, ca 12 km south of Evora (in the Alentejo region), in a place called "Herdade da Alfarrobeira". Nearby stands the University of Evora. The site ia a Quercus suber/Q. rotundifolia woodland with a discontinuous tree cover. This type of vegetation (which in Portugal is called "montado" and in Spain "dehesa", covers a large portion of the Mediterranean region both in southern Europe and North-Africa. It represents more than 1,000,000 ha only in Portugal. The experimental site has a fairly homogeneous canopy over a large area (k km-scale) on flattish terrain. Hardwood forest, mediterranean/oceanic
Status:	Active, core measurements presently being made
Country:	Portugal
Fluxnet Site Code:	PT-Mi1
