Aguamarga is an ecosystem station located in Almería, south-eastern Spain. In the ICOS metadata catalogue it is identified as Aguamarga, station ID ES-Agu, with open shrublands listed as its main ecosystem type.
The station is located at 36.939384, -2.034044, at an elevation of 199 metres above sea level. Its semi-arid Mediterranean setting makes it especially relevant for observing dryland ecosystem processes in one of the most water-limited regions represented in the Spanish observation context.
Aguamarga adds a complementary ecosystem perspective to ICOS Spain by representing open shrubland and semi-arid conditions, in contrast with the Mediterranean dehesa represented by Majadas de Tiétar. This environmental contrast is important for understanding how carbon-cycle processes and ecosystem functioning vary across Mediterranean landscapes.
Because detailed public information on the full instrumentation and operational status of the site is still limited, this page presents Aguamarga as a developing or candidate ecosystem platform. Additional technical details should be incorporated as they are confirmed by the station team or official ICOS documentation.
