Optimal estimation of forest carbon sequestration based on eddy correlation method

Abstract

Forest ecosystem is a large and complex dynamic systems, carbon balance of forests directly affects the balance of the global ecosystem, studying quantitatively the balance of payments problems of carbon dioxide in the global atmosphere, land, marine and other ecosystems is today's hotspot and difficulty. This article was based on the research of eddy correlation method, relaxed eddy accumulation method and chamber method, improved eddy accumulation method, and introduced the concept of relaxation and the box-style ideas, using this method to estimate quantitatively carbon sequestration of trees and analyze comparatively the results, so made the estimation of forest carbon sequestration efficiency increase significantly, reduced the estimation error and cost. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
