ABSTRACT
This research demonstrated
quantitative methods of geospatial analysis applicable to carbon sequestration
and storage in the conterminous United Sates. We identified national-scale NEP (net
ecosystem production) changes for conversions to and from crop, and land in
frequent conversion among forest, wetland, pasture and rangeland. The trend
showed an increase in the margins of the Corn Belt states and coincided with
land conversion from previous non-cropland to cropland in the United States.
This research will not only improve the engineering understanding of carbon
dioxide removal options involving the terrestrial biosphere, but will also
inform decision-making in the carbon emission impacts.
Therefore, it will provide a spatio-temporal reference
for analyzing the national-level carbon exchange systems in the United States.
KEYWORDS
Carbon sequestration, carbon exchange, temporal filter, spatial analysis, zonal statistic.
