From the Arctic tundra to temperate peatlands: Improving net ecosystem CO₂ exchange modelling for Irish peatland ecosystems
Date:
This presentation will showcase the development of the ICONEEx model for upscaling net ecosystem CO₂ exchange across Irish peatland ecosystems, building on methodologies from Arctic tundra research.
Key Topics
- Integration of Sentinel-1/2 and MODIS PAR data with flux tower measurements
- Scaling from field to national level for ecosystem monitoring
- Applications in climate monitoring and national reporting
- Cross-ecosystem approaches from Arctic to temperate regions
Significance
This work demonstrates the adaptation of Arctic ecosystem modeling approaches to temperate peatlands, supporting improved climate monitoring and carbon accounting at national scales.
