Abstract

Annual evapotranspiration (ET) and net photosynthesis (PSN) were estimated for a 28-km × 55-km region of coniferous forests in western Montana. A simple raster geographic information system (GIS) integrating topographic, soil, vegetation, and climate data at a 1.1-km scale size was used. The leaf area index (LAI) of the forest was estimated with AVHRR NDVI. The daily microclimate of each cell was interpolated using MT-CLIM, a mountain microclimate simulator. A forest ecosystem simulation model, FOREST-BGC, was used to calculate ET and PSN daily for each cell. The estimated ranges are: LAI (4-15), ET (25-60 cm/yr), and PSN (9-20 Mg/ha/yr).
