Estimating Net Ecosystem Production of tropical evergreen broadleaves forest in Northeastern Vietnam toward improving income for local people

Leader: Tran Van Do
Department: Leadership Institute
Duration: 07/2017 - 12/2018
Sponsor: IFS
Field: Natural forests
Categories: Project
Objective

· To quantify carbon stocks/fluxes in all carbon pools leading to estimation of Net Ecosystem Production of forests in Vietnam

· To apply a new approach compared to a conventional approach in order to estimate NEP (especially estimating production of coarse roots) in Vietnam.
