Title

Standardization and Systematization of Carbon-budget Observation in Asian Terrestrial Ecosystems Based on AsiaFlux Framework

Countries Involved

Bangladesh, Indonesia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Thailand

Project Leader

Y. Ohtani, Japan

Research Theme

Changes in Atmospheric Composition, Changes in Terrestrial Ecosystems and Biodiversity, Human Dimensions of Global Change

Summary of Project
The estimation of the carbon budget in terrestrial ecosystems is one of the urgent research subjects regards climate change research and the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol. Recently, the micrometeorological method has been widely used for evaluation of carbon exchange between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. However, this technique has not been standardised and diffused into developing countries yet, because it includes the variable factors in dependence upon aerial and land conditions. We propose the improvement of observations and the analysis methodology on flux measurements through a technical manual, information exchange at the workshop and the re-analysis of data.
