Panel Discussion: Cost-Effective and Scalable Measurement of On...
summary
Open-source Field Carbon Model repo on GitHub provides a runnable Jupyter notebook that estimates field-scale carbon fluxes for two Iowa fields using NASA SMAP L4C-like parameters, downscaled vegetation indices, USDA Cropland Data Layer crop types and SoilGrids 250m for surface SOC; a quick run produces GPP and NEE time series. Planned three model levels: remote, remote+metrology, remote+activity and vendor-neutral design; demonstrated feasibility but notes flux towers cost ~$50–200k while low-cost chamber sampling and open-source IoT hardware/software are needed to scale and serve initiatives like Sustainable Africa.
