The station Degero, with ICOS code SE-Deg, is located in the northern Sweden boreal region, about 70 km west of the Gulf of Bothnia, NW of the city Umea, situated on highland between the major rivers, Ume and Vindeln River. The site is an oligotrophic mire consisting of a rather complex system of interconnected smaller mires, divided by islets and ridges of glacial till. The area around the Eddy Covariance tower is dominated by flat lawn plants communities with bog moss dominating the bottom layer.
