TRAGNET Site Membership Criteria

The propsed network will be inclusive and probably consist of 30-40 sites. The steering committee recommends to the general membership the acceptance of new sites to the network and deletion of existing sites from the network. Site participation in the network will be based on the below criteria.

• A continuous, on-going measurement program for N2O, CH4, or CO2 made within protocol guidelines established by the network
• an initial and (where appropriate) continuous measurement program for ancillary variables such as climate, soil properties, land use practices, and C and N inputs
• active participation in the annual network workshop
• a willingness to share data via established protocols
