PROJECT DESCRIPTION: |
The DOE consortium for research on Enhancing Carbon
Sequestration in Terrestrial Ecosystems (CSiTE)
performs fundamental research that supports approaches that will lead to
enhanced carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems as one component of a
carbon management strategy. The goal of CSiTE is to
discover and characterize links between critical pathways and mechanisms for
creating larger, longer-lasting carbon pools in terrestrial ecosystems.
Research is designed to establish the scientific basis for enhancing carbon
capture and long-term sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems by developing
(1) scientific understanding of carbon capture andsequestration
mechanisms in terrestrial ecosystems across multiple scales from the
molecular to the landscape, (2) conceptual and simulation models for
extrapolation of process understanding across spatial and temporal scales,
(3) estimates of national carbon sequestration potential, and (4) assessments
of environmental impacts and economic implications of approaches to enhance
carbon sequestration. A key feature of CSiTE is
shared accesss to multiple field sites representing
important managed and unmanaged ecosystems. A task-oriented experimental and
modeling approach during the first three years established the basis for
evolution in 2003 to a site-focused research approach that is integrated
across spatial scales. The distributed CSiTE
research effort is integrated across several collaborating national
laboratories, and specific tasks subcontracted to universities and other
institutions. |
