Water-Carbon-Energy Dynamics in Forest
Water, carbon, and energy dynamics are tightly coupled through vegetation processes. Soil moisture regulates transpiration and photosynthesis, carbon uptake drives biomass accumulation, and energy availability controls evapotranspiration and water loss. We analyze observational data to identify how these interactions vary under different environmental conditions. Process-based modeling is used to examine forest responses to climate variability and change. This research can contribute to improved assessment and management of forest carbon uptake and support broader carbon-neutrality strategies.
