Carbon cycle dynamics within Oregon’s urban-suburban-forested-agricultural landscapes Part 1: Current Land-Use/Land-CoverPI: B.E. Law, CoIs: C. Still, T. Hilker, A. Schmidt
Objective
• Multi-scale observations and neural networks to determine how current climate and LC/LUC influence ecosystem processes
Approach
• Establish flux sites in major crops and poplar
• Compare seasonal and annual fluxes among cover types
Project # OREZFES-867

Carbon cycle dynamics within Oregon’s urban-suburban-forested-agricultural landscapes: Part 2 Future Climate & Land-Use/Land-Cover PI: B.E. Law, CoIs: C. Still, T. Hilker, A. Schmidt (Oregon State University), Collaborator: T. Hudiburg (UI)
Objective
• Investigate future climate variability and effects of land cover and land use changes on terrestrial processes
Approach
• Reduce uncertainties in CLM projections
• Simulate future climate effects on ecosystem processes
• Simulate thinning of vulnerable forests, LUC non-forage crop to poplar
Project # OREZFES-868
Model underestimated NEP in high biomass forests L: Difference between prior and posteriori NEPR: Current non-forage grass crops

Conversion from Coal to Bioenergy – Oregon
~3 Tg torrefied biomass per year needed to run 518 MW power plant at base load
Optimize for minimizing impacts on forests, sustainable supply

Future C Stocks and Emissions – Oregon
In progress:
NECB and C stocks in forests post-thinning
NECB and C stocks on agr land if convert 150K ha non-forage grass to poplar (100% conversion unlikely).
Maximum potential supply of biomass to electric facility, and uncertainties
Refine Life Cycle Assessment of emissions from land post-harvest, transport, torrefaction, pelletization, fossil fuel displacement
Assessment of effects of LUC to poplar on carbon and water cycle

Forest Biomass Mortality – Western US (2002-2012)
Negative water balance is the dominant driver of mortality in the W US
Dry ecoregions were exposed to below-average water availability for longer duration

Simulated Moisture Transport over NE Pacific
Aim: Parameterize global model to bring correct amount of moisture into western boundary of regional model
Default: Location of the jet is too far N and not enough moisture
Several parameter sets improve jet location and moisture transport
