Biomass and Carbon Residence Time Estimation by Remote Sensing and Direct Measurements at the Santa Rita Experimental Research Station 1 Theodore Jones University of Arizona Space Grant Intern Joel Biederman, Russ Scott USDA Agricultural Research Service

Why Measure Carbon Residence Time? 2  t r = carbon stored / photosynthesis  role of an ecosystem in climate change  stored carbon can account for decades worth of photosynthesis  changes in the environment can release quickly Below Ground Biomass Above Ground Biomass

Santa Rita Experimental Research Station Flux Tower Site 3

Measuring Biomass 4 Allometric Relationships Percent Cover Estimates Manual Measurements Biomass = carbon contained in the plants LIDAR/Wavelet Method Based Height Tree crown areas (Aerial photographs) Diameter/Height BiomassBiomass

Aerial Photo-based Methods 5 Percent of the terrain covered by vegetation Estimates of individual tree crown areas Visual photography Bare soil Tree Mixed/grass tree canopy Flux tower

Airborne LiDAR Method 6 Lidar Dataset Wavelet Method Results (Swetnam et. al. 2014)

7 Biomass estimation method BiomassBiomass

Total Biomass and Residence Times 8 Input Photosynthesis 0.3 kg/m 2 per year Mean Carbon Residence Time 25 to 35 years t r = carbon stored / photosynthesis Above ground biomass kg m 2 to 3.1 kg m 2 Below Ground Biomass 0.82 kg m 2

Conclusions 9  The estimated biomass varies from 1.7 kg/m^2 to 3.1 kg/m^2 among the methods.  Mean carbon residence time is 25.4 to 34.6 years in spite of 45% uncertainty in aboveground biomass  Future steps for this project will include:  estimating the biomass of understory plants  expanding the analysis to other sites and ecosystem types
