BNPP/ASB Functional Value of Biodiversity Project – Phase II 



2.1 Roadmap

This section sets out the implementation plan for these nested hydrological modeling exercises, as well as a description of the models and scenarios being employed.  Below is the roadmap for Activity 1 and 2, with links to information found elsewhere in this website.

VIC

total yield, high flows, low flows

Transition matrix between classified landcover at 1 km resolution, aggregated to 10 km.  Landcover time series based on LAI extracted from MODIS. Also see Appendix 3 – Table 1 Veg#4.

Calibrated at 25Km

a.Total yield for major urban centers (Laos, Mekong, Cambodia);  and coastal zones (Mekong only).

b.Seasonal variability of total flow.

c.Duration of storm events.

Mae Chaem

(150m)

Hourly, 2 years: 3/98-12/99; aggregated to 4 hour time step

DHSVM

total yield, high flows, low flows

Current, historical; irrigation scheme model for Mae Chaem developed based on hydrological models.

Initial calibration at 150m; see DHSVM roadmap

a.Total yield for major urban centers: town of Mae Chaem.

b.Seasonal variability of total flow.

c.Duration of storm events

Mae Chaem (10m)

Daily, 1970-2000

GenRiver and SpatRain

total yield, high flows, low flows, buffering

Scenarios from Chiang Mai University sub-contract

Calibrated to local rainfall and riverflow data.

See GenRiver and SpatRain

Sumber Jaya (5m)

Daily, 1975-1998

GenRiver and SpatRain

total yield, high flows, low flows, buffering

preindustrial: forest; historical: 1980-200; loss of high BD areas: remove ridge of forest’ extensification: all shade coffe; intensification: all sun coffe

Compared with WaNulCLAS; validated based on frequency distribution of flows.

See GenRiver and SpatRain

Sumber Jaya (100x100m2)

Annual, for 30 years

FALLOW

(1) Plot level soil fertility and land productivity dynamics; (2) household economy; (3) strategic decision on land use and labor allocation; (4) implementation on land use and labor allocation; (5) land use/cover change through succession and growth. 

 (6) human population dynamics; (7) market; (8) fire escape. 

 (9) food security; (10) watershed functions: water balance (water yield, baseflow), sediment loss, soil physical quality dynamics; (11) biodiversity; (12) C stocks.

Preindustrial: Shifting cultivation

Contemporary: monoculture plantations (coffee & clove).

Loss of high BD areas: Shifting cultivation at overpopulated conditions.

Extensification:coffee agroforestry.

Intensification: monoculture plantations (coffee and clove).
