Global change is one of the major problems facing humanity. The impacts and feedbacks of climate change on key ecosystems are therefore of particular interest. Ecosystem stations within the Czech Carbon Observation System (CzeCOS) serve for long-term observation of matter (especially greenhouse gases) and energy fluxes between ecosystems and the atmosphere in regional and international contexts. The method used for this purpose is eddy covariance, auxiliary measurements consist of meteorological parameters, soil characteristics, and biomass inventory. The services provided by CzeCOS also include monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of carbon sequestration as well as research on carbon sinks and sources in different regions. In this study, we build on this research and present our methodology with a particular focus on data quality control and the results from footprint analysis.
