We (UC Davis, LBNL, funded by California CALFIRE) are establishing eddy-covariance flux towers at representative coastal redwood forests to directly and continuously measure the ecosystems’ CO2, water, and energy fluxes and climatic conditions. These unique and unprecedented measurements will improve our predictive understanding of coastal redwood forests’ carbon and water cycles and fill a critical knowledge gap in accounting for these forests’ carbon sinks to help achieve California’s carbon neutrality goals.

These unique and unprecedented measurements will improve our predictive understanding of coastal redwood forests’ carbon and water cycles and fill a critical knowledge gap in accounting for these forests’ carbon sinks to help achieve California’s carbon neutrality goals.
Specifically, we will address the following knowledge gaps:
Missing ecosystem-level observations in redwood forest
Redwood forests’ carbon-water cycles, climate change, drought, fog
Forest management for carbon sequestration and wildfire mitigation
Eddy Covariance over a complex terrain
