Potential Of MODIS Ocean Bands For Estimating CO2flux From Terrestrial Vegetation: A Novel Approach
Rahman, A. F., Cordova, V. D., Gamon, J. A., Schmid, H. P., Sims, D. A.

A physiologically-driven spectral index using two ocean-color bands of MODIS satellite sensor showed great potential to track seasonally changing photosynthetic light use efficiency (LUE) and stress-induced reduction in net primary productivity (NPP) of terrestrial vegetation. Based on these findings, we developed a simple “continuous …

Climatic Versus Biotic Constraints On Carbon And Water Fluxes In Seasonally Drought-Affected Ponderosa Pine Ecosystems
Schwarz, P. A., Law, B. E., Williams, M., Irvine, J., Kurpius, M., Moore, D.

We investigated the relative importance of climatic versus biotic controls on gross primary production (GPP) and water vapor fluxes in seasonally drought-affected ponderosa pine forests. The study was conducted in young (YS), mature (MS), and old stands (OS) over 4 years at the AmeriFlux Metolius sites. Model simulations showed that …

Observed Covariance Between Ecosystem Carbon Exchange And Atmospheric Boundary Layer Dynamics At A Site In Northern Wisconsin
Yi, C., Davis, K. J., Bakwin, P. S., Denning, A. S., Zhang, N., Desai, A., Lin, J. C., Gerbig, C.

Ecosystem CO2 exchange and atmosphere boundary layer (ABL) mixing are correlated diurnally and seasonally as they are both driven by solar insulation. Tracer transport models predict that these covariance signals produce a meridional gradient of annual mean CO2 concentration in the marine boundary layer that …

Regional Carbon Dioxide Fluxes From Mixing Ratio Data
Bakwin, P. S., Davis, K. J., Yi, C., Wofsy, S. C., Munger, J. W., Haszpra, L., Barcza, Z.

We examine the atmospheric budget of CO2 at temperate continental sites in the Northern Hemisphere. On a monthly time scale both surface exchange and atmospheric transport are important in determining the rate of change of CO2 mixing ratio at these sites. Vertical differences between the atmospheric boundary …

Effects Of Meteorological Variations On The CO2 Exchange Of A Brazilian Transitional Tropical Forest
Vourlitis, G. L., Priante Filho, N., Hayashi, M. M., Nogueira, J. d., Raiter, F., Hoegel, W., Campelo, Jr, J. H.

The net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) of a 28–30 m tall transitional (ecotonal) tropical forest of the Brazilian Amazon was quantified using tower-based eddy covariance. Measurements were made …

Observing Subcanopy CO2 Advection
Staebler, R. M., Fitzjarrald, D. R.

Underestimation of nocturnal CO2 respiration under calm conditions remains an unsolved problem at many forest flux stations. In this paper, the hypothesis is tested that horizontal mean transport, not previously measured, may account for the missing CO2. A systematic methodology was developed that comprises …

Nitrogen Deposition And Increased Carbon Accumulation In Ombrotrophic Peatlands In Eastern Canada
Turunen, J., Roulet, N. T., Moore, T. R., Richard, P. J.

Recent and long-term accumulation rates of carbon (C), using 210Pb- and 14C-dating, were examined in 23 ombrotrophic peatlands in eastern Canada, where average 1990–1996 atmospheric wet nitrogen (N) deposition ranged from 0.3 to 0.8 g N m−2 yr−1. The average recent rate of C accumulation …

Monitoring Forest Carbon Sequestration With Remote Sensing And Carbon Cycle Modeling
Turner, D. P., Guzy, M., Lefsky, M. A., Ritts, W. D., Van Tuyl, S., Law, B. E.

Sources and sinks of carbon associated with forests depend strongly on the management regime and spatial patterns in potential productivity. Satellite remote sensing can provide spatially explicit information on land cover, stand-age class, and harvesting. Carbon-cycle process models coupled to regional climate databases can provide …

Wide Dynamic Range Vegetation Index For Remote Quantification Of Biophysical Characteristics Of Vegetation
Gitelson, A. A.

The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is widely used for monitoring, analyzing, and mapping temporal and spatial distributions of physiological and biophysical characteristics of vegetation. It is well documented that the NDVI approaches saturation asymptotically under conditions of moderate-to-high aboveground biomass. …

Satellite Monitoring Of Vegetation Dynamics: Sensitivity Enhancement By The Wide Dynamic Range Vegetation Index
Viña, A., Genebry, G.M., Gitelson, A. A.

Synoptic monitoring of vegetation dynamics relies on satellite observations of the distinctive spectral contrast between red and near infrared reflectance that photosynthetically active green vegetation exhibits. It has long been recognized that the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) suffers a rapid decrease of sensitivity …
