Résumé

The main goal of this thesis is the establishment of a framework to analyze the forest ecosystems in peninsular Spain in terms of their role in the carbon cycle. In particular, the carbon fluxes that they exchange with atmosphere are modeled to evaluate their potential as carbon sinks and biomass reservoirs. The assessment of gross and net carbon fluxes is performed at 1-km spatial scale and on a daily basis using two different ecosystem models, Monteith and BIOME-BGC, respectively. These models are driven by a combination of satellite and ground data, part of the latter being also employed as a complementary data source and in the validation process.

Information sur le financement

This thesis was developed in the framework of the project RESET CLIMATE CGL2012-35831 (Remote sensing of terrestrial essential climate variables: Water stress effect on carbon flux assessment) and ESCENARIOS CGL2016-75239-R (Monitoring carbon fluxes in forest ecosystems and simulation for climate change scenarios), both from the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness (MINECO), and co-financed by FEDER funds. The author was granted with the support of the Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2013-2016
