1 Rangeland Carbon Fluxes in the Northern Great Plains Wylie, B.K., T.G. Gilmanov, A.B. Frank, J.A. Morgan, M.R. Haferkamp, T.P. Meyers, E.A. Fosnight, L. Zhang US Geological Survey National Center for Earth Resources Observation Science (EROS) USGS: Earth Surface Dynamics, Land Remote Sensing, and Geographic Analysis and Monitoring National Science Foundation/EPSCoR Grant No through the South Dakota Center for Biocomplexity Studies and by the State of South Dakota USAID GL-CRSP project Grant No. PCE-G to Univ. of California, Davis USDA Agricultural Research Service Agriflux network US Agency for International Development Grant No. PCE-G , Global Bureau, Office of Agriculture and Food Security U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey
2 Objectives Exhaustively model and map Carbon fluxes in rangelands to quantify the fluxes and Investigate temporal and patterns to understand climate and environmental influences.
3 METHODS: Develop Empirical Model Tree Algorithms to Predict Flux Tower Carbon Observations From Spatial Data Localized Detailed Measurements Spatial Variables Through Time C Flux Mapping Model Tree If NDVI <.4 C fluxes = f(x1, X2, X4) If NDVI >=.4 C fluxes = f(x1, X4, X6) C Flux Maps Northern Great Plains
4 Flux Tower Data is used to Develop Models for the Mapping of 1-day Carbon Dynamics on Rangelands Lethbridge (LE), Canada: Larry Flanagan Ft. Peck (FP), MT; Tilden Meyers Mandan (MA), ND; Al Frank New Towers Cottonwood, SD Miles City (MC), MT: Marshall Haferkamp Brookings, SD Cheyenne (CN), WY: Jack Morgan
5 METHODS: Tower C Fluxes Associated with Basic Ecosystem Functions of Gross Primary Production (Pg) and Total Ecosystem Respiration (Re) are Derived From Light Response Curves on 3 min. Datasets. Tagir Gilmanov, SDSU, coordinator of the FLUXNET WORLDGRASSFLUX working group N E E P(Q,T s ; α,β,γ,θ,κ )= 1 2θ αq + β (αq + β)2 4αβθQ γ eκt s, Derives estimates of daytime respiration independent of nighttime flux data (others often use relationships derived from nighttime fluxes and apply them to daytime observations) PROVIDES: 1) Tower Pg, Re, and NEE 2) Facilitates flux tower data gap filling 3) Quantifies ecophysiological parameters (quantum yield (α), maximum gross photosynthesis (β), & daytime respiration (γ))

9 Tower versus Spatial Data - Takes into account the accuracy of spatial data sets when developing model. - Process-based models typically rely heavily on precipitation - Precipitation can have high spatial and temporal variability that is difficult to map accurately.
