The Missouri Ozark AmeriFlux, MOFLUX, tower — a collaborative project between the University of Missouri and Oak Ridge National Laboratory — stands tall over the forest canopy at the University of Missouri’s Baskett Wildlife Research and Education Center near Ashland. The tower records data to measure how much carbon dioxide the forest takes up from the atmosphere and how much water is leaving it, and will be a component of an $800,000 grant received by Lincoln University.
