Estimation of leaf area index and simulation of evapotranspiration for intensively managed Douglas-fir forests

Creator:

Rogers, Nicole S.

Abstract:

Understanding the tradeoff between water use and productivity is critical for modeling growth of intensively managed Douglas-fir forests in the Pacific Northwest. Evapotranspiration is closely linked to carbon dioxide intake during the process of photosynthesis. However, summer drought characterizing the growing season in this region imposes a limit on carbon...
