Converging estimates of the forest carbon sink; a comparison of the carbon sink of Scots pine forest in The Netherlands as presented by the eddy covariance and the forest inventory method
The aim of this study was to compare estimates of the net ecosystem exchange (NEE) by two different methods for a small pine forest in the Netherlands. The inventory-based carbon budgeting method estimated the average NEE for 1997-2001 at 202 g C per mr per year, with a confidence interval of 138-271 g C per mr per year. The estimate obtained by the eddy covariance method was 295 g C per mr per year on average for the same period, with a confidence interval of 224-366 g C per mr per year. Uncertainties in both methods are assessed, and recommendations are given for future research.
