Produktbeschreibung
This guide covers all methods of measuring and monitoring forest carbon pools and fluxes. Each chapter covers a specific method and discusses measurement methods, background information, necessary calculations and equipment requirements.
In the summer of 2003, a workshop was held in Portsmouth, NH, to discuss land measurement techniques for the North American Carbon Program. Over 40 sci- tists representing government agencies, academia and nonprofit research organi- tions located in Canada, the US and Mexico participated. During the course of the workshop a number of topics were discussed, with an emphasis on the following: - The need for an intermediate tier of carbon measurements. This level of study would be more extensive than state-level inventories of the US Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis Program, but less detailed than intensive ecos- tem studies sites such as those in Long Term Ecological Research network. This tier would ideally provide a basis to link and scale remote sensing measurements and inventory data, and supply data required to parameterize existing models (see Wofsy and Harriss 2002, Denning et al. 2005). - The design criteria that such a network of sites should meet. The network and s- pling design should be standardized, but flexible enough to be applied across North America. The design also needs to be efficient enough to be implemented without the need for large field crews, yet robust enough to provide useful information. Finally, the spatial scale must permit easy linkage to remotely sensed data. - The key variables that should be measured at each site, and the frequency of measurement.
Rezensionen
Aus den Rezensionen:

"... Das Buch stellt Monitoringmethoden für einen aktuellen Forschungsschwerpunkt vor. Es handelt sich ganz überwiegend um Standardmethoden ökologischer Feldforschung, die sich nicht nur zur Quantifizierung des Kohlenstoffkreislaufes einsetzen lassen, die aber in dieser Zusammenstellung bisher nicht vorlagen. ... Die einzelnen Kapitel sind aufeinander abgestimmt, Wiederholungen und Unstimmigkeiten finden sich nicht, und das Einleitungskapitel und die beiden Schlusskapitel vermitteln die Zusammenhänge zwischen den einzelnen Messgrößen und -methoden. Das Buch sollte in keiner Bibliothek von Forschungseinrichtungen mit entsprechender Ausrichtung fehlen." (Norbert Bartsch, in: Forstarchiv, 2009, Vol. 80, Issue 2, S. 61)
