 | Monitoring Effects in Climate and Fire Regime on Net Ecosystem Production |
 by David Turner
A
spatially-distributed model of net ecosystem production (NEP) was run over western Oregon for the period 2001-2003 at the 1 km
spatial resolution and daily temporal resolution. Inputs included MODIS-based FPAR, Landsat-based
land cover and disturbance history, and distributed meteorology. Resulting NEP showed sensitivity to 1) areas of recent
disturbance, such as a large forest fire in 2002, 2) areas of intensive
management for timber production, 3) topographically-driven climatic gradients,
and 4) interannual variation in climate. Validation measurements included a
network of field plots and a chronosequence study.
