ICOS STATION
Lison

In the heart of the Italian Veneto region, where rolling hills are covered by emerald vineyards, lies a unique research station. Nestled within the Bosco del Merlo, a 33-hectare estate dedicated to Sauvignon Blanc and Glera grapes, the ICOS Lison station is quietly revolutionising our understanding of agriculture's role in climate change.

The station Lison (ICOS code IT-Lsn) is located in the middle of an extended vineyard, on a flat terrain of Venice region (Lison di Portogruaro, province of Venice), North-East Italy. The vineyard, established in 2001, is about 33 ha and surrounded by other vineyards, has the vine rows oriented to 35-125 N. Rows are spaced 2.2 m apart and are approximately 0.5 m wide; plant spacing is 0.9 m and the canopy height at full development is 2 m. The vineyard alleys are covered by permanent grass, regularly mowed during the season, while the soil below plants on the row is chemically weeded for a strip of about 0.7 m width. Eddy covariance measurements started in May 2014. Canopy height at full development is 2 m, the vine growing season is from April to September. The alleys are covered with spontaneous herbaceous vegetation.
