Using the BIFoR FACE Facility for your research
The BIFoR FACE woodland "Mill Haft" offers the opportunity to complete research in patches of woodland that are experiencing the atmosphere of the future. Facilities include;
- team of technicians available to support your field work
- welfare facilities on site (including a shower and lockers)
- parking
- electrical vehicles to help transport heavy equipment up to the forest
- bench space and a flux lab and tower in the woodland (data and power)
- woodland laboratory - including outside dirty lab area, inside clean space and offices
- met masts (data and power)
- canopy access so all parts of the canopy can be reached including the sunlit leaves
- access to a stream 'Wood Brook' running through the woodland that has data and power nearby for stream monitoring
- a 'Data Manager', who can give advice about data we already hold eg meteorological data from 2015 onwards
- a tissue bio- bank of leaf / twig / pollen / soil samples from 2015 (in most cases)
- Wi-Fi on site
