Summary:
This paper reports on the opportunities and challenges of measuring the total net ecosystem exchange from managed tropical oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia. In contrast with other methods used to link CO2 emissions to point measurements, be they of either water table level or of temporal and spatial grab sampling measurements, the eddyflux method offers a method which provides in situ and continuously a spatial and temporal integration of the net ecosystem exchange at the plantation scale. This confers it the enormous advantage of providing net ecosystem vexchange accounting for carbon uptake and respiration simultaneously. The method however must be used with care…
