Improving carbon monitoring and reporting in forests using spatially-explicit information
BACKGROUND Understanding and quantifying carbon (C) exchanges between the biosphere and the atmosphere-specifically the process of C removal from the atmosphere, and how this process is changing-is the basis for developing appropriate adaptation and mitigation strategies for climate change. Monitoring forest systems and reporting on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals are now required c...
متن کاملSpatially-explicit Modeling of Siberian Boreal Forests
Circumpolar boreal forests contain one half of the terrestrial carbon stores, and have been shown to be susceptible to climate change. As climate regimes shift, the total biomass and species composition may change in ways that may promote further warming on the regional level through atmosphere-vegetation feedbacks. The purpose of this project is to develop a spatially explicit model for simula...
متن کاملEstimating and interpreting migration of Amazonian forests using spatially implicit and semi‐explicit neutral models
With many sophisticated methods available for estimating migration, ecologists face the difficult decision of choosing for their specific line of work. Here we test and compare several methods, performing sanity and robustness tests, applying to large-scale data and discussing the results and interpretation. Five methods were selected to compare for their ability to estimate migration from spat...
متن کاملCharacterizing the light environment in Sierra Nevada mixed-conifer forests using a spatially explicit light model
The spatially explicit light model tRAYci was calibrated to conditions in multi-aged Sierra Nevada mixedconifer forests. To reflect conditions that are important to growth and regeneration of this forest type, we sampled a variety of managed mature stands with multiple canopy layers and cohorts. Calibration of the light model included determining leaf area density for individual species with th...
متن کاملMonitoring Forests as Carbon Sinks Using Remote Sensing
The Kyoto Protocol intends to limit or reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 (base year) levels and allows carbon emissions to be balanced by carbon sinks represented by vegetation (e.g. forests). The present paper is focused on three key aspects related to the capabilities of remote sensing data to help in monitoring forests as carbon sinks. The first one attends to find statis...
