Forest Ecosystems and the Carbon Cycle
The continuous flow of carbon from the land and water through the atmosphere and living organisms makes up the global carbon cycle [1]. It contains reservoirs where carbon is stored and features dynamic flows of carbon between the carbon pools [2]. Forests are one of the largest reservoirs of carbon on Earth [1], and therefore their storage and release of carbon have a great impact on the globa...
متن کاملThe Terrestrial Carbon Cycle: Managing Forest Ecosystems
The accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere due to fossil fuel use, deforestation and other anthropogenic sources is changing the global climate (Harries et al. 2001; IPCC 2002). Current understanding of the global carbon cycle suggests that managing forests and agricultural lands to increase the sequestration of greenhouse gases (GHG) provide credible policy options (Dixon and Turner 1991, Winju...
متن کاملSimulation of Water and Carbon Fluxes in Agro- and forest Ecosystems at the Regional Scale
To investigate effects of different land use management practices on carbon fluxes at the regional scale we developed an integrated model by coupling an ecohydrological river basin model SWIM (Soil and Water Integrated Model) and a soil organic matter model SCN (Soil-Carbon-Nitrogen model). The latter is a submodel of the forest growth model 4C. The extended integrated model combines hydrologic...

متن کاملModelling forest ecosystems: the Edinburgh Forest Model
Reasons for building an ecosystem model are discussed, stressing the importance of objectives. A model is required for any research programme aiming to take a firm grasp of forest responses. The Edinburgh Forest Model (EFM) is outlined. This is a standard model of the genre, taking account of pools and fluxes of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and water. It comprises tree, soil and water submodels. Th...
