Advances on flux measurement and research in terrestrial ecosystem in China (Part II) Now, a series of studies have been centered on the coupling cycle of water, carbon and nitrogen based mainly on eddy covariance technique directed by Prof. Guirui Yu, Prof. Xiaomin Sun and Prof. Shenggong Li. The network measurements are mainly under the associated supports of the projects including the “Transect study on the response and acclimation of Chinese typical terrestrial ecosystems to global change (2006-2010)”, “CarboEastAsia: Capacity building among ChinaFLUX, JapanFlux and KoFlux to cope with climate change protocols by synthesizing measurement, theory and modeling in quantifying and understanding of carbon fluxes and storages in East Asia (2007-2010)”, and “The process and their coupling relationship of carbon and nitrogen fluxes in terrestrial ecosystem (2007-2009)”.
News from CarboEastAsia Meeting 2007 With more than 70 participants from China, Japan and Korea, the CarboEastAsia Meeting 2007 was successfully held from 30th November through 1st December 2007 at the Institute of Geographic Science and Natural Resources Research (IGSNRR), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Beijing, China. This meeting is the first annual meeting of the Asia A3 Foresight Program "CarboEastAsia".
CarboEastAsia Meeting 2007--announcement Terrestrial ecosystems in East Asia cover large land area and they play a critical role in global carbon cycle. Therefore, knowledge of the carbon dynamics of the terrestrial ecosystems in East Asia is essential to advance our understanding of global carbon and water budgets and prediction of impacts of climate change.
