Energy and Matter Fluxes of a Spruce Forest Ecosystem
This book focuses on fluxes of energy, carbon dioxide and matter in and above a Central European spruce forest. Scientific results obtained over the last 20 years at the FLUXNET site DE-Bay (Waldstein-Weidenbrunnen) are shown together with methods developed at the site, including the application of footprint models for data-quality analysis, the coupling between the trunk space and the atmosphere, the importance of the Damköhler number for trace gas studies, and the turbulent conditions at a forest edge. The transition from a forest affected by acid rain into a heterogeneous forest occurred as a result of wind throw, bark beetles and climate change.
Moreover, by highlighting processes in the atmosphere it offers insights into the functioning of the ecosystem as a whole. In addition to the many experimental studies, the book also applies model studies such as higher-order closure models, Large-Eddy Simulations, and runoff models for the catchment and compares them with the experimental data. It is of interest to ecologists, micrometeorologists and ecosystem modelers.
