Comprehensive monitoring of CO2 sequestration in subalpine forest ecosystems and its relation to global warming

ABSTRACT

Global warming is an increasing concern worldwide. Assessing the contribution of CO2 to this phenomenon is an important issue. This project's goal is to improve understanding of CO2 and H2O transport in a mountainous terrain that confound current efforts to resolve CO2 budgets at regional and global scales.
