B41H:
Mapping and Monitoring Terrestrial Vegetation Carbon Stocks and Fluxes: Inventories, Remote Sensing, Modeling, and Policy Support I


Session ID#: 9189

Session Description:
Monitoring and assessment of terrestrial vegetation carbon storage and fluxes are critical to address changes in carbon cycle and ecosystems. Inventories, eddy flux measurements networks (e.g. FLUXNET, Ameriflux, NEON), and geospatial data products from airborne and satellite sensors improve the estimation of vegetation carbon stocks(e.g. biomass, LAI) and carbon fluxes (e.g. GPP, NPP) in ecosystems models, data assimilation models and carbon-atmospheric models. We invite contributions that demonstrate recent research focusing on monitoring and quantifying terrestrial vegetation carbon stocks and fluxes, including forests, cropland, grassland, tundra and so on, to better understand and predict ecosystem responses to climate change, in order to provide policy support.
