Development of a carbon accounting model (FullCAM Vers. 1.0) for the Australian continent
نویسندگان
چکیده
To assist in the development of Australia’s National Carbon Accounting System (NCAS), the Australian Greenhouse Office has developed and calibrated an integrated suite of models relevant to Australian conditions for which data were available or could be generated for their application. These point-based models were then made operational within a GIS environment to enable application at a fine spatial (25 m) and temporal (monthly) resolution for the Australian continent.

Empirical Estimates of Aboveground Carbon in Open Eucalyptus Forests of South-Eastern Australia and Its Potential Implication for National Carbon Accounting
The aboveground carbon (AGC) storage of open Eucalyptus forests is unknown yet they are estimated to account for almost 25% of all Australian forests and about 60% of forests in Victoria. In this study we provide the best possible estimates of total AGC including tree biomass derived from destructive biomass sampling across 23 study plots established in open Eucalyptus forests in Victoria. The ...
متن کاملThe potential impact of climate change on Australia's soil organic carbon resources
BACKGROUND Soil organic carbon (SOC) represents a significant pool of carbon within the biosphere. Climatic shifts in temperature and precipitation have a major influence on the decomposition and amount of SOC stored within an ecosystem and that released into the atmosphere. We have linked net primary production (NPP) algorithms, which include the impact of enhanced atmospheric CO2 on plant gro...
متن کاملDerivation of a Perennial Vegetation Density Map for the Australian Continent
Multi-temporal Landsat coverages of the entire Australian continent have been assembled under the Australian Greenhouse Office (AGO) National Carbon Accounting System (NCAS) Land Cover Change Program. The major purpose of this program was the production of spatially detailed classifications of the extent and change in area of forest cover for Australia since 1972 for input to carbon modelling. ...

This study proposed a novel method for preparing activated carbon from Australian Pine cones (APCs) to optimize Pb(II) adsorption. Based on an analysis conducted, the APCs dried powder consisted of approximately 51.32 wt% of cellulose and 21.15 wt% of lignin on average. Experiments in batch mode at 100-rpm stirring speed, pH 4.7 (± 0.3) and 27 oC (± 2 o</su...
متن کاملThe significance of carbon-enriched dust for global carbon accounting
Soil carbon stores amount to 54% of the terrestrial carbon pool and twice the atmospheric carbon pool, but soil organic carbon (SOC) can be transient. There is an ongoing debate about whether soils are a net source or sink of carbon, and understanding the role of aeolian processes in SOC erosion, transport and deposition is rudimentary. The impacts of SOC erosion by wind on the global carbon bu...
