Through this work, we expect to improve understanding of the multiple change factors that control gross primary production, net primary production, energy exchange processes, and carbon stocks . The knowledge gained from this study will be essential for managing forested watersheds, improving forest functions and local ecosystem services, providing scientific basis for pollution regulation, and information for private land manager for climate mitigation potentials, and serving for other agency (such as EPA and USGS) management purposes.
