FLUXNET: MTE (Multi-Tree Ensemble)
Teaser image
Main content
Global, spatially and temporally explicit estimates of carbon and water fluxes derived from empirical up-scaling eddy covariance measurements would constitute a new and possibly powerful data stream to study the variability of the global terrestrial carbon and water cycle. Jung et al (2009)
Key Strengths
Key Strengths
Global coverage at spatial resolution comparable to global climate models. Includes uncertainty estimates.
Key Limitations
Key Limitations
Upscaling is still hampered by a variety of challenges such as limited ability to account for effects of disturbance and/or site history, and lagged environmental effects (Jung et al. 2011)
