of scientists are producing global scale information on carbon

Quantification of carbon, water+energy fluxes is critical information needed for a sound management of Australian landscapes and to maintain key ecosystem services We want to quantify these fluxes everywhere and all the time Dennis Baldocchi calls this era an era of scientific revolution because it is only now that we start to see a critical mass in infrastructure + resulting data needed to do the science
Despite its great importance to understand and manage the impact of land use on carbon sequestration and water availability, such knowledge has not been readily available for many of Australia’s unique ecosystems.
Vegetation is sufficiently different And in many aspects probably a worst case scenario for remote sensing applications. What works in other parts of the world need not work here.
Schematic of a ecosystem processes at hourly, daily and annual-decadal time scales. Measurements at flux stations are used to improve process understanding, evaluate model parameters and model performance at scales of hours to decades.
This task requires understanding and quantifying a set of coupled and highly nonlinear biophysical processes that span 14 orders of magnitude in time and space [ Jarvis,1995; Osmond et al., 1980 ].
Plot-based terrestrial lidar foliage profiles are used as training datasets for the derivation of a scaling function applied to calibrate effective leaf area index (LAIe) from a coincident ALS point cloud.
Regional map of the field area showing the six measurement sites down the North Australian Tropical Transect (NATT), where rainfall strongly declines from the coast (1700 mm) inland to Sturt Plains (700 mm). Leaf area and basal area decline from Howard Springs to Sturt Plains. Fogg Dam is a seasonally flooded wetland with sedge grasses that were still partially green at the time of the intensive field campaign and where soil water contents were high. Photos are shown to illustrate the differences in structure of savanna vegetation. Aircraft grid patterns over selected sites (red circles) are shown and these are used for characterization and validation. Linking aircraft flux transects were broken into northern, middle and southern transects (green ellipses). Location of the budget flights at Daly River are shown (blue circle).
Leaf-level photosynthetic parameters of species in the closely related genera Eucalyptus and Corymbia were assessed along a strong rainfall gradient in northern Australia. Both instantaneous gas exchange measurements and leaf carbon isotope discrimination indicated little variation in intercellular CO 2 concentrations during photosynthesis ( c i ) in response to a decrease in mean annual precipitation from 1700 mm to 300 mm. Correlation between stomatal conductance and photosynthetic capacity contributed toward the maintenance of relatively constant c i among the sampled leaves, when assessed at ambient CO 2 concentration and photon irradiance similar to full sunlight. Leaf mass per area was the most plastic leaf trait along the rainfall gradient, showing a linear increase in response to decreasing mean annual precipitation. The maximum Rubisco carboxylation velocity, V cmax , expressed on a leaf-area basis, showed a modest increase in response to decreasing rainfall. This modest increase in V cmax was associated with the strongly expressed increase in leaf mass per area. These results suggest that variation in ecosystem-level gas exchange for the over-story eucalypts in north-Australian savannas will likely be dominated by changes in leaf area index in response to increasing aridity, rather than by changes in photosynthetic performance per unit leaf area.
Before going calculating canopy scale properties plant response was taken into account! Canopy scale maximum conductance (inverted penman monteith) quantum efficiency (analoguous to A/ci curve) and maximum assimilation (by fitting LUE curve where A is down-regulated by D according to the modified Leuning form of D response) don’t have significant dependence on precipitation gradient WUE = GPP/ET (leaf level to canopy level is normally confounded by soil resp (which is constant here) and soil evap (small in dry season) )
To determine GPP for the savannas of the NT region, a simple light use efficiency (LUE) model was used along with gridded satellite remote sensing (MODIS) fPAR (fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation) and gridded meteorological data. GPP=APAR×LUE×TMIN scalar×VPD scalar Changes in GPP along the NATT (Fig. 4, Table 1) are influenced by the interaction among four major environmental variables: fPAR (R2 = 0.85), VPD (R2 = 0.85), rainfall (R2 = 0.96) and LAI (R2 = 0.96). It was found that daily average temperature was only moderately correlated to GPP (R2 = 0.51). Figure 11 – GPP for the entire savanna region within the Northern Territory for the campaign period (September 2008). GPP derived from MODIS GPP algorithm (Myneni et al. 2002) but used a savanna light use efficiency based on our six sites down the NATT (LUE defined as carbon uptake per unit of radiation absorbed), regional specific meteorology (Jeffrey et al. 2001) and the fraction of absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fPAR) (MOD15A2 collection5) (Kanniah et al. 2009). Changes in rainfall along the gradient are associated with a strong gradient in GPP due to changes in the savanna structure and composition. Figure 4: Annual GPP along a major rainfall gradient in the Northern Australian Tropical Transect (NATT). The mid -point in each of the boxes is the mean, the boxes are standard error and the whiskers are the minimum and maximum values. Zones A, B and C represent the wet, middle and dry end of the NATT. Data represent GPP from 2000 to 2007. Locations marked with asterisk are the six sites investigated during SPECIAL Campaign).
