Comparisons of Modeled (PnET-Day) and Measured Carbon Flux of mature Forests in Northern Wisconsin Feb 25 Soung-Ryoul Ryu, Asko Noormets, and Jiquan Chen
Study Objectives • To evaluate the applicability of PnET-Day for different forest ecosystems • To evaluate the capability of PnET-Day to predict yearly variation • To determine the sources of variation between measured and modeled values
Foliar N concentration PnET-Day Amax Maximum Gross Photosynthesis Basal Respiration Day Temperature Foliage Biomass Night Temperature PAR Radiation VPD Hours Realized Gross Photosynthesis Realized Respiration
Model Parameters Note: * means the values are not constant
Parameters Preparation South North • Foliar N, SLW, and SLWdel • 8 major species • 5 reps for mature (20~25m tall, 40~60 year old) dominant trees, 3 reps for young (1.5~3.5m tall, 10 years old) dominant trees • DBH is measured • Foliage biomass was measured using field survey (500m2, 5 for each ecosystem) and published allometric equations Top Middle Bottom
Parameters Preparation • k • Beer’s law • Io = Ii * exp(-k*LAI) • LAI was measured using biometric method • Light intensity was measured during daytime (12:00~3:00pm) in- and out-side of the canopy • Phenological parameters were estimated using empirical data
