Title: CARBON and HYDROLOGY (WP2)


1
CARBON and HYDROLOGY (WP2)
  • The main purpose of the hydrological study is to
    quantify fluxes/stores of carbon (and nutrients)
    in water phase as it travels through the
    ecosystem (WP 2)
  • The activities will be carried out in the
    CARBONSINK project, in collaboration with the
    ECOCARBON project
  • The selected Cuieiras catchment is a 5 km2 area
    near Manaus.

  • COMPONENTS/MEASUREMENTS
  • Rainfall measurements and water chemistry
    dissolved and particulate matter
  • Streamflow, amount of water leaving the catchment
    will be measured at catchment outlet and samples
    will be collected for chemical analysis of C
    (particulate) and nutrients (N,P,K,Ca,Mg and Al)
  • A UV-VIS probe will be used to continuously
    monitor TOC nitrate levels in streamwater

3
Status
  • Site selected, research strategy determined
  • Collaborators in Brazil identified
  • Equipment reviewed and ordered
  • Model installed
  • Digital elevation model and element network
    generated, model input parameter files made

4
  • Hydrological modelling
  • The TOPOG model will be used to simulate
    long-term discharge and carbon losses, etc.
  • Model calibration using measured discharge
  • Input several years of rainfall and other tower
    weather data, soil maps, vegetation
  • Digital elevation model has been prepared, as
    well as preliminary soil/vegetation input files
    and a one-year climate data file.
  • Waiting for measurements to calibrate...
