Expanding the model:
A model for (Fba-Fab)
Fab = G(Di, pi, S i) = photosynthesisFba = G(Di, pi, S i) = respiration and fire

A Hierarchical view of the carbon system

direction
Causation goes in this direction

A-R: A key feature of the system
What we measure: Net Ecosystem Exchange(the flux of CO2 across an imaginary plane above the canopy)
But: NEE cannot be directly parameterizedNEE = Photosynthesis - Respiration
The model (or observation equation) must “transform” the observation (NEE) into physically modeling components.
This is neglecting complex but different processes such as fire and forest harvest.

Some key model equations
NEE = Ra +Rh - GPP
GPPmax = AamaxAd+Rleaf
GPPpot = GPPmaxDtempDvpdDlight
Rh = CsKhQ10sTsoil/10(W/Wc)
GPP = canopy photosynthesis, R denotes respiration, Amax = max leaf-level carbon assimilation, Ds are scalars for environmental factors, Ad, a scaling factor over time, Cs = substrate, K, rate constant, Q10 the temperature scalar and W, water scalars.

Assimilation of fluxes provides consistency between priorknowledge and observed carbon exchange
![Page 11: A parametric and process-oriented view of the carbon system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814bf1550346895db8d9a6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Control variables
• Temperature• Soil moisture• Nutrient availability• Fire regime• Light interception• Land management• Atmospheric CO2 • etc
![Page 12: A parametric and process-oriented view of the carbon system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814bf1550346895db8d9a6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Concentrations have less information about processes and parameters
than do fluxes
Why?
They are “one step more removed” (by transport)
That step includes “invertible” (advective) processes and irreversible (diffusive) processes
There is information loss along the chain of causation
![Page 13: A parametric and process-oriented view of the carbon system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814bf1550346895db8d9a6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Get closer to the answer: measure fluxes
Tower-based measurements

1. Variability is at a maximum on the strongly forced time scales
2. They have an annual sum of ~0
3. Modeling the carbon storage time scales (years) is the goal

modeling?

Tower-based estimates of parameters can be used as priors to invert global concentration data to estimate parameters controlling fluxes instead of fluxes (Knorr, Wofsy, Rayner)
