Carbon fluxes in ecosystems of Yellowstone National Park predicted from remote sensing data and simulation modeling
Potter C, Klooster S, Crabtree RL, Huang S, Gross P, Genovese V. 2011. Carbon fluxes in ecosystems of Yellowstone National Park predicted from remote sensing data and simulation modeling. Carbon Balance and Management. 6(3)
Rates of recovery for burned forest areas to pre-1988 biomass levels were estimated from a unique combination of remote sensing and CASA model predictions. Ecosystem production and carbon fluxes in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) result from complex interactions between climate, forest age structure, and disturbance-recovery patterns of the landscape. -- Conclusions.
