Abstract
During the International Biological Program (IBP), systematic investigations of carbon flow through ecosystems and the structuring of carbon pools within ecosystems were carried out for the first time across the existing spectrum of biome types. Since then, concerted efforts have been made to understand the changes occurring in ecosystem carbon pools and carbon flow during aging and maturation of the system, in response to disturbances, and as symptomatic of ecosystem status or “health” (see review by Reiners 1983, Odum 1985). In other words, thorough knowledge of ecosystem carbon pools and carbon flow for a wide variety of ecosystem types and states is viewed as a key means by which better understanding of ecosystem response, resilience, and sustainable function maybe achieved.
