Abstract:
- Ground measurements of biomass and environmental parameters are an important complement to our tower-based carbon flux measurements. Flux measurements tell us whether carbon dioxide is being absorbed or emitted by the forest. The plot measurements are intended to quantify how much carbon is accumulating or being lost from above ground biomass and how tree growth and production of foliage varies among species.
