The Old Black Spruce site contained a large 30 meter flux tower and a Terrestrial Ecology (TE) tower that topped out in the canopy of large spruce trees. This allowed researchers to take samples from within the canopy, and to make measurements using the living trees themselves. View an aerial photo-map of the NSA-OBS site.
