Approaches to Scaling of Trace Gas Fluxes in Ecosystems (Developments in Atmospheric Science)

This book covers techniques used for extrapolating measurements of trace gas fluxes and factors regulating the production, consumption and exchange of trace gases in terrestrial and aquatic environments. As well as reviewing the state of the art in the field of scaling of gas fluxes in this book gaps in knowledge, approaches to reducing uncertainties in source estimates at the landscape, regional and global scale, and future research directions are discussed important aspects of scaling covered in this book include validation of model results, the relation between model approach and model parameters selected the use of functional types (in which distinct and easily identified differences in structure, composition or properties of landscapes or water bodies coincide with processes relevant for gas fluxes) and approaches to investigating uncertainties. This book should appeal to students and scientists working in the field of atmospheric chemistry, micrometeorology, soil science, ecology, physical geography, marine and freshwater sciences, monitoring of land use and vegetation, database development, remote sensing, and all those studying the changing physical and chemical climate of the Earth.
