Carbon sinks are crucial in managing high greenhouse gas emissions. In urban and semi-urban areas, sinks such as forests, wetlands, and patches of vegetation are valuable for #climatechange mitigation efforts. Register to #ICOS2024SC to hear more about carbon sinks and their role in urban GHG emissions: https://lnkd.in/dMvDZNHY

Hello from the Hegyhátsál ICOS Atmosphere station in Hungary! This station is the first and currently the only station in ICOS Hungary. It measures greenhouse gases in a region covered by fields and forests. Climate change is evident in this region. In the 30 years of measurements, average temperatures have increased by 1.5°C. Data shows that high atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations on summer nights are increasing faster than the general atmospheric concentrations. This is presumably caused by the warmer summer nights and higher ecological respiration. The station was established in 1993 by Dr. László Haszpra, who has been running the station since then. In 2020, the station became part of ICOS. "I set up the station 30 years ago, and soon I am going to retire. I am trying to pass my knowledge to the younger generation, who can continue my work." The Hegyhátsál station also provides a sanctuary for communities of swallows, which nest within the tower's structures, their nests reaching heights of up to 82 meters. As the station operates primarily automatically with minimal human presence, the birds enjoy a tranquil environment for nesting.
