B04: Cross-Scale Studies on Carbon Cycles: From Biometric Measurements, Eddy Covariance, to Remote Sensing
Understanding carbon cycles and estimating carbon budgets from leaf levels to global scales requires interdisciplinary studies across disciplinary boundaries associated with ecology, meteorology, atmospheric sciences, remote sensing and spatial modeling. Small-scale mechanism-based work needs to be upscaled for understanding global carbon cycles. Regional and global studies require validation, feedbacks and updates from the most-recent work on small scales. This session intends to bridge our knowledge gaps in carbon cycles from biometric measurements, eddy covariance, to remote sensing, and link researchers from the Western Pacific region to other areas. We invite contributions from biomass measurements, manipulation experiments, eddy covariance measurements, and large-scale modeling using remotely sensed data. We especially welcome studies involved in multiple scale and across-scale studies. Studies on a single scale in the Western Pacific region are also welcome.
