Water Resource Issues in the Salinas Valley: How do LULC and global-scale environmental changes (climate, CO 2, etc.) influence water and carbon cycling? How do the impacts of LULCC vs. GEC compare? How effective are management policies designed to reduce the impacts of land use change on water resources?

Nitrogen Deposition Land Use: Oak, Agriculture Separate vs. Combined Responses to Change Daily Climate for Salinas, California Equilibrium Fluxes and Pools for NPP, Water Use Agriculture: No N, Water Limitations; 3 crops/yr.

LULC vs. Environmental Change (Net Recharge = Runoff-Irrigation)

Plot-level Conclusions Oak Woodland Responsive to changes in CO2, T, PPT, N (10-30%) Large Interactions (5-15%) Agriculture Responsive to changes in CO2, T only (5-20%) Small Interactions (< 5%) Land Cover Change > Environmental Change
