This book focuses on fluxes of energy, carbon dioxide and matter in
and above a Central European spruce forest. The transition from a
forest affected by acid rain into a heterogeneous forest occurred as a
result of wind throw, bark beetles and climate change. Scientific
results obtained over the last 20 years at the FLUXNET site DE-Bay
(Waldstein-Weidenbrunnen) are shown together with methods developed at
the site, including the application of footprint models for
data-quality analysis, the coupling between the trunk space and the
atmosphere, the importance of the Damköhler number for trace gas
studies, and the turbulent conditions at a forest edge. In addition to
the many experimental studies, the book also applies model studies
such as higher-order closure models, Large-Eddy Simulations, and
runoff models for the catchment and compares them with the
experimental data. Moreover, by highlighting processes in the
atmosphere it offers insights into the functioning of the ecosystem as
a whole. It is of interest to ecologists, micrometeorologists and
ecosystem modelers.
