In the present study, we report initial results on analysis of carbon dioxide (CO₂), water vapour (H₂O), and energy fluxes (sensible and latent heat flux) over teak mixed deciduous forests of Madhya Pradesh, central India, during winter (November 2011 and January 2012) and summer (February–May 2012) seasons using eddy covariance flux tower datasets. During the study period, continuous fast response measurements of CO₂, H₂O and heat fluxes above the canopy were carried out at 10 Hz and averaged for 30 minutes. Concurrently, slow response measurements of meteorological parameters are also being carried out. Diurnal and seasonal variations of CO₂, H₂O and heat fluxes were analysed and correlated with the meteorological variables. The study showed strong influence of leaf off and on scenario on the CO₂, H₂O and energy fluxes due to prevalence of deciduous vegetation type in the study area. Maximum amount of CO₂was sequestered for photosynthesis during winter (monthly mean of [-25umol/m²/s) compared to summer (monthly mean of -2umol/m²/s). Energy flux analysis (weekly mean) showed more energy being portioned into latent heat during winter (668 W/m²) and sensible heat during summer (718 W/m²).
