Dear Colleagues,
Different size for open top chambers(OTC) have been used by researchers. It would be nice to have your advice in proper size for OTC in subalpine grasslands, tall grasslands and desert.
In general, Do you know any review about possible sizes of OTC for different habitats?
Because size of OTC (height, slope and size) influence on warming (Marion et al,1997).
Warm regards,
Mehdi
Dear Mehdi, I hope these papers may help you.
All the best

Dear Iraj and Valerio,
Thanks for introducing nice articles.
In fact i am looking for OTC of hexagonal design with sloping sides. My main questions is the size of these sloping sides for grasslands including both inclined slides(60 degree for instance) and also size( for instance chambers with a top opening of 1 m). There are several suggested sizes in articles however, different size can cause different warming. For instance larger size cause warmer conditions (Marion,1997) or (Godfree et al,2011) or (Aranson and Mcnulty,2009).
