Progress Reports

ABSTRACT

The objectives of this proposal are: 1) to establish an infrastructure for guiding, collecting, synthesizing and disseminating long term measurements of CO2, water and energy exchange and environmental, soil and plant canopy variables from a dispersed array of regional flux networks; 2) inter-calibrate flux measurement systems among the network, so a standardized and un-biased product is derived 3) provide value - added data products using flux and environmental data acquired within the framework of this network of flux measurement stations 4) we will use this information to test and validate ecosystem models and to draw generalizations relating to the control of carbon and energy fluxes by climate, vegetation and substructure.
