Testing the flux tower upscaling hypothesis at a regional scale in a complex landscape(NASA-funded project) Paul Bolstad, Randy Kolka, Mark Kubiske, Faith Ann Heinsch, Ken Davis • Tier 1 – Modeling (BIOME-BGC), 1 km & 250 m MODIS products, & land cover • Tier 2 – FIA data from USFS & remotely sensed data (Landsat & MODIS) • Tier 3 – biomass & soil sampling; soil & leaf gas exchange measurements • Tier 4 – regional, stand, & mobile tower fluxes
Measurement of fluxes with towers equipped with eddy covariance instrumentations at two spatial scales 2) Stand level 30 m Results: Forest stand as CO2 sink 1) Regional level Very tall tower at WLEF 400 m Results: Region as CO2 source/weak sink Why are these results conflicting?
