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. 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. 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...
