Abstract
The role of forests in carbon sequestration is incorporated into global models (Kyoto Protocol, UNFCCC, 1998), however the carbon sink strength and fluxes in a changing environment have not yet been well determined. Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) natural and co-naturally managed forests cover ca 2/3 (i.e. 750.000 ha) of all forests sites in Slovenia and can be considered as a model tree species / forest ecosystems for the slovenian and central-european forests in modeling the role of forests in carbon sequestraion. Within the European project CASIROZ (The Carbon Sink Strength of Beech in a Changing Environment: Experimental Risk Assessment of Mitigation by Chronic Ozone Impact; EVK2-CT-2002-00165) the objective is to assess the vulnerability of beech trees under stand conditions of Central Europe to the tropospheric, chronic ozone impact by employing a Free Air Canopy O3 Exposure system (FACOE) in a forest research plot in Bavaria. In this whole tree response patterns to the absorbed ozone fluxes are to be derived as a diagnostic means to the physiologically relevant O3 dose and 'Critical Levels' of O3 exposure (AOT40) are to be re-evaluated. From the data obtained a central database and a new modular modeling concept will be developed for handling mechanistic scaling approaches of findings from the cell to the stand level with respect to assess C sink strength through modeling under simulated global-change scenarios. For carbon sink strength and the development of the model below-ground processes are crucial. Below-ground studies are lead by the Slovenian partner, who proposes, in collaboration with the leading modeling partner from Belgium, background soil & rhizosphere studies for better development of the soil module. The present project proposal therefore concentrates on studies of below-ground C fluxes studied in two forest research plots in a managed and natural beech forest in Slovenia. The data obtained will be used for the common CASIROZ database & the development of the soil & ecosystem module in the new modeling concept.
