International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XXXIX-B8, 2012 XXII ISPRS Congress, 25 August — 01 September 2012, Melbourne, Australia ASSESSMENT OF INDIAN CARBON CYCLE COMPONENTS USING EARTH OBSERVATION SYSTEMS AND GROUND INVENTORY V.K. Dadhwal National Remote Sensing Centre, ISRO, Hyderabad — 500625, India KEYWORDS: Carbon, Vegetation, Atmosphere, GIS, Forestry, Soil, Oceans ABSTRACT Improved national carbon assessments are important for UNFCC communications, policy studies and improving the global assessment. Use of EO for land cover dynamics, forest type, cover and phytomass carbon density, productivity and related soil carbon density and regional extrapolation of point flux measurements. A National Carbon Project (NCP) under the Indian Space Research Organisation - Geosphere Biosphere Programme (ISRO — GBP) aims at improving the understanding and quantification of net carbon balance. The NCP has been implemented with three major components — (A) vegetation carbon pools, (B) Soil carbon pools and (C) Soil and Vegetation — Atmosphere Fluxes. A total of 6500 field plot data from forests and trees outside forests have been collected. 1500 field plots have been inventoried for the soil carbon based on the remotely sensed data stratification. A nationwide network of carbon flux towers in different ecosystems for the measurement and modeling of the net carbon flux using eddy covariance techniques is being established and upscaling using satellite remote sensing data and modelling is under process. The amplitude of the diurnal variation in NEE increased with growth of wheat and reached its peak around the pre-anthesis stage. Besides, under NCP, satellite diurnal CO, have also analyzed the data obtained from AIRS and SCIAMACHY over India and surrounding oceans and was correlated with surface fluxes. The CASA model simulations over India using NOAA AVHRR NDVI. 1. INTRODUCTION The annual carbon pools inclusive of the atmosphere to the biosphere become critical in regulating the increasing rate of atmospheric CO,. Monitoring regional carbon storage and its flux is of paramount importance for improving the state of the biosphere's health and system for carbon credit trading (Bonan, 1995; Chen et al., 2000). India is a large country with 329 million hectares of geographical area situated in the tropics between 8° and 38° N latitude and 66° and 100° E longitude. The climate of the country varies from monsoonal in the south to temperate in the north. The country has a diverse vegetation cover. Of the total geographic area of the country, forest and agricultural land accounts about 21 and 55%, respectively. Many studies are being carried out to estimate the terrestrial NPP and analyse its spatio-temporal variability over India (Hingane, 1991; Dadhwal and Nayak, 1993; Chhabra and Dadhwal, 2004; Nayak et al., 2009). However, most of these studies could not explain the broad spectrum of NPP seasonal variability over the country; they led to different estimates of seasonal and annual NPP budgets over the country owing to the following limitations: (1) studies are carried out for different years; (2) different methodology and datasets are being used, (3) no attempts are made to describe inter-annual variability of NPP over India. Furthermore, a direct estimation and comprehensive analysis on inter-annual variability of net primary productivity over the country has not been adequately investigated. Indian terrestrial ecosystem acts as spatially and temporally Variant carbon source and sink due to monsoon based climate System; diverse land use and land cover distribution and cultural practices. The agriculture covering around 180 M ha and forests covering 68 M ha contributes largely to terrestrial carbon dynamics in India (Chhabra and Dadhwal 2004, Kaul et al 2009) The diverse cropping patterns, wet land rice ecosystems and temporally variant dry land agriculture makes Indian agriculture carbon fluxes assessment and understanding complex. The diverse forest structure and composition, phenology, fire regimes, biotic disturbances, extractions and large reservoir of trees outside forests plays larger role in Carbon sequestration and shaping the carbon budget (Bhat and Ravindranath, 2011). Unlike the regular forest inventories, soil inventories are rarely repeated on a regular basis and require chrono sequenced sampling to understand the impacts of different management regimes and land use changes on Carbon dynamics. Approximately 0.8 Pg C yr! is transported to the oceans by the world's rivers and India has several perennial rivers and long coastline. It is important to properly understand air sea CO; exchanges and quantify the Carbon estimates due to fresh water and coastal dynamics as it constitutes a redirection of a substantial portion of the net terrestrial sink (Doney and Hood, 2002). The diverse natural and anthropogenic sources of CO; and long range transport of atmospheric gases across varied topographic gradients as a function of intra and inter annual climatic variations affects sink potential of different categories of land cover. This necessitates regular measurements and monitoring of atmospheric CO; and its transport modelling. There has been an increasing trend in assimilating EO data towards understanding of land surface processes, climate measurements and carbon pools and fluxes (IPCC 1995). Estimation of net carbon flux caused by deforestation and afforestation in India (Kaul et al 2009; Subodh et al., 2011) are a few recent studies reported over India using EO data. In order to address the mentioned knowledge gaps, under ISRO Geosphere and Biosphere programme, National Carbon Project (NCP) was undertaken with the following major goals » Assessment of Carbon Pools, Fluxes and Net Carbon bal- ance for terrestrial biomes in India » To establish an observational network and create remote sensing-based spatial databases for modeling and period assessment of net carbon balance in India » To provide support to Second National Communication (SNC) activity of Ministry of Environment and Forests, GOI to UNFCC with respect to carbon balance
