Appendix 1: Estimation of tree biomass
6
Estimation of tree biomass derived from stem volume needs to include a reduction factor to
7
account for decay in large trees (see Mackowski 1987, Lindenmayer et al. 2000, Dean et al.
8
2003, Roxburgh et al. 2006). For calculations of biomass from stem volume at the sites used in
9
southeast Australia, we applied a reduction factor to tree size categories of 50 – 120 cm DBH
10
(diameter of stem at 1.3 m height) and >120 cm DBH, based on relationships with DBH
11
described in Roxburgh et al. (2006). Additionally, we used a buttress modification factor
12
developed by Dean et al. (2003) where measurements of cross-sectional areas of buttresses were
13
used to derive a fractional area deficit formula of up to 40% for trees >3.5 m DBH.
14
The range in allometric equations used to estimate biomass at sites in southeast Australia is
15
shown in Figure S1. Separate curves are shown for allometric equations that include reduction
16
factors for decay in volume equations and buttressing in large trees. Factors influencing
17
differences among these equations include height of trees, taper of stems, proportion of branches,
18
wood density and amount of decay. Calculation of biomass for individual trees using these
19
allometric equations was estimated within the size range of trees used to derive the equation
20
(maximum tree sizes were DBH of 6.4 m for E. regnans (Mountain Ash) (Dean and Roxburgh
21
2006), 2.8 m for E. obliqua (Messmate), 1.8 m for E. piluaris (Blackbutt), 1.5 m for Corymbia
22
maculata (Spotted gum), 0.9 for E. delegatensis (Alpine Ash)). At the few sites where
1
1
extrapolations were necessary on the NSW south coast, a very conservative equation with an
2
asymptote was used. From the tree biomass data available to derive allometric equations, there is
3
no evidence that the largest trees in a sequence had a relatively lower biomass or were below the
4
trend line. However, it is important to be cautious in using these logarithmic equations as
5
extrapolation beyond the size range could cause significant errors.

A spatial data layer of GPP was calculated from climate and satellite imagery of forest cover

using the simplified light-use efficiency model of GPP as formulated by Roderick et al. (2001).

where, e (mol CO2 mol-1 PAR) is the efficiency of the canopy modified to account for diffuse
7
light as described below, f is the fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR, = 400 to
8
700 nm) absorbed by the canopy, Rs is solar irradiance (MJ m-2 d-1) received at the surface, Ro is
9
the global solar irradiance at the top of the atmosphere, and C is a conversion factor to convert

MJ to mol PAR (2.3 mol PAR MJ-1). The superscripts denote that the input variables are: ′
11
monthly (long term) averages (m2 d-1), or * values specific to a particular month and year. This
12
formulation takes into account the effect of diffuse solar radiance on the carbon assimilation rate
13
of the canopy (Roderick et al. 2001).

Roderick et al. (2001) derived the following general equations to estimate e for Australia;

where Rd ' Rs ' is the estimated fraction of the solar irradiance received at the surface that is
18
diffuse. Solar irradiance received at the surface (Rs′) was computed using monthly averages from
19
the BIOCLIM database. Solar irradiance received at the top of the atmosphere (Ro′) was
20
computed for monthly time steps using the formulae given in Roderick (1999).

The fraction of photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by the canopy (f*) was estimated

from a time series of MODIS 16-Day L3 Global 250m (MOD13Q1) satellite imagery (Land

Administration with final MODIS data products processed/re-formatted by CSIRO Marine and
5
Atmospheric Research using the MODIS Reprojection Tool ('mrtmosaic', 'resample')). The
6
MODIS product used was Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for the 5 year period
7
from July 2000 to July 2005 covering the Australian continent. A time series of f* at a monthly
8
time step was produced from the NDVI data using a linear function, following Roderick et al.
9
(1999) and Berry & Roderick (2002), but with NDVI endpoint values specific to the MODIS
10
11
imagery calibrated for bare soil.

Following the calculation of PG* (mol CO2 m-2 day-1) for each 250 m grid cell for the 60 month
14
time-series of f, we calculated GPP for each calendar month and then computed annual sums of
15
GPP (mol CO2 m2 yr-1) for the five years commencing in July 2000.
