Basic information about the field
Area: 6,23 ha
Soil type: Humus rich sandy loam
There are issues with the water economy on the field on north side of the forest batch and on south edge of the field. The south edge issues with the water economy are due to digging a water pipe. Long term research on measuring carbon sequestration is conducted on the field.
Rehabilitation measures: Summer 2020, the edges of the forest batch were cleared and new drainage was installed for 25 m next to the west corner junction.
