AmeriFlux FLUXNET-1F US-MMS provides carbon flux data for the Morgan Monroe State Forest in Indiana. The data was processed using the standard ONEFlux (1F) software by the AmeriFlux Management Project, with site management by Indiana University and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. The forest is a secondary successional broadleaf forest within the eastern deciduous forest transition zone.
Use Cases
- Modeling net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of carbon dioxide based on eddy covariance flux measurements.
- Studying forest succession and carbon sequestration in a secondary broadleaf forest based on the site description.
- Analyzing long-term carbon flux trends in a managed forest ecosystem based on the selective logging history mentioned.
- Calibrating and validating terrestrial biosphere models for the eastern deciduous forest transition zone.
Strengths
- Data is part of the standardized FLUXNET-1F product, ensuring consistent processing across sites.
- Site has a documented long-term management agreement between Indiana University and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
- Forest composition and history, including tree ages of 60-80 years and past selective logging, are described.
