A MONITORING tower has been installed to measure the amount of carbon locked in a new Poole Harbour saltmarsh.

The Environment Agency’s (EA) new structure at Arne Moor is a flux tower and joins a growing network of towers in saltmarshes across England.

Flux towers provide a measure of how much carbon dioxide has been taken up by a saltmarsh and how it changes over time.

This tower will be the first to monitor what happens to carbon within a habitat as it changes from dry land to a salty wet intertidal habitat when the existing flood embankment is breached as part of the Moors at Arne project.
