Gross Primary Production of Rainfed and Irrigated Potato (<i>Solanum tuberosum</i> L.) in the Colombian Andean Region Using Eddy Covariance Technique
Potato farming is relevant for global carbon balances and greenhouse emissions, of which gross primary productivity (GPP) is one of the main drivers. In this study, the net carbon ecosystem exchange (NEE) was measured using the Eddy Covariance (EC) method in two potato crops, one of them with an irr...
