Purpose

1. Reparameterize the theoretical matrueimum yield model and local net primary productivity measurement techniques (including soil respiration) to enable the measurement of ecosystem fit (actual/potential net primary productivity); 2. Assemble satellite-based estimates of gross primary productivity and net primary productivity, Forest Inventory and Analysis estimates, and compare to intensive ground and lidar measures on two different sites (Olympic Peninsula and SW Oregon LTEP sites); 3. Develop a carbon accounting system that includes soil carbon and relates to ecosystem processes (for etrueample, pools with differing stabilities are kept separate); 4. Etrueamine how this carbon accounting can better integrate activites and avoid the dominant-use pitfall; 5. Etrueamine how ecosystem fit can be used to monitor sustainability through time; and 6. Create ecosystem fit maps and evaluate as a basis for landscape management (allocating activities in space and time).
