Description
The activity includes field-based data collection, processing of sap flow and soil moisture measurements, and aggregation of datasets to generate plot-level water budgets and trait-based datasets for use in land surface models such as JULES. The work contributes to the transition from baseline characterisation to sustained, integrated monitoring of the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, improving data continuity, calibration of instrumentation, and integration of observations into modelling frameworks. The work is a continuation of an existing activity, requiring access to previously collected datasets, established experimental protocols, and calibrated instrumentation. Outputs will include quality-controlled datasets contributing to the AmazonFACE database and model-ready data products for the Met Office, supporting improved representation of tropical forest water cycling processes. The activity is planned to run to March 2027
