Tuczno forest is a 60-year-old Scots pine stand that is located in the North-West part of Poland. During the period between 20th and 25th August 2012 an experiment consisting of the measurement of forest fl oor CO2 effl ux was carried out. For this purpose, manual chamber systems were used. Measurements were taken at 60 collars located on a rectangular plot 25m x 45m. Th is research area was located in the range of footprint of the Eddy-covariance (EC) tower. Th e preliminary results indicate that the average CO2 effl ux from the forest fl oor, as measured during the experiment (5.09 μmol m-2 s-1), is lower than the total ecosystem respiration, estimated from EC data (6.25 μmol m-2 s-1). Spatial variability of soil CO2 effl ux (Rs) can be explained by humus thickness (Ht) variability; however, the tree root respiration can be considered a valuable part of CO2 emission from the forest bottom.
