Kalman Filter (KF) is a sequential data assimilation technique, first used in weather forecasting and currently widely used in other disciplines (e.g., Hydrology and Petroleum).
Estimates of carbon (C) transfer coefficients is critical to the understanding of carbon turnover time and ecosystem C sequestration.
However, in the previous study, number of parameters that can be constrained is limited and the efficiency is relatively low (e.g., MCMC).
In this study, Kalman Filter approaches (Linear, Nonlinear, and Ensemble) were applied to a terrestrial ecosystem C dynamic model for optimal estimation of parameters at each step (daily) during a 9-year period in Duke forest FACE site .

Conclusion
1) Reliability of the model
Using the simulated results from a given set of parameters as input in the Kalman Filter model, the estimated parameters were very close to the given ones.
2) Comparison of observations with simulation results
3) Comparison of results from different kinds of KF
1) Estimated results using EnKF
The last step The last step parameter valueparameter value
2) High-precision measurements will reduce quantity of observations needed for parameter constraint
Test model: The simulated results were used as the observed values for inverse analysis.
1) EnKF, which is another widely used data assimilation technique, is efficient to estimate parameters in forest ecosystem C dynamics.
2) High-precision measurements provide strong constraints for parameter estimations with a reduced number of observations needed.
3) Recovery rates of parameter estimates are very high when we used model output as virtual data in parameter estimation.
