A Cross-Biome Comparison Of Daily Light Use Efficiency For Gross Primary Production
Turner, D. P., Urbanski, S., Bremer, D., Wofsy, S. C., Meyers, T., Gower, S. T., Gregory, M.

Vegetation light use efficiency is a key physiological parameter at the canopy scale, and at the daily time step is a component of remote sensing algorithms for scaling gross …

Diurnal And Seasonal Changes In Stem Increment And Water Use By Yellow Poplar Trees In Response To Environmental Stress
McLaughlin, S. B., Wullschleger, S. D., Nosal, M.
To evaluate indicators of whole-tree physiological responses to climate stress, we determined seasonal, daily and diurnal patterns of growth and water use in 10 yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) trees in a stand recently released from competition. Precise measurements of stem increment …

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Communities In Tropical Forests Are Affected By Host Tree Species And Environment
Lovelock, C. E., Andersen, K., Morton, J. B.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are mutualists with plant roots that are proposed to enhance plant community diversity. Models indicate that AM fungal communities could maintain plant diversity in forests if functionally different communities are spatially separated. In this study we assess the spatial and temporal distribution …

Contrasting Soil Respiration In Young And Old-Growth Ponderosa Pine Forests
Irvine, J., Law, B. E.

Three years of fully automated and manual measurements of soil CO2 efflux, soil moisture and temperature were used to explore the diel, seasonal and inter-annual patterns of soil efflux in an old-growth (250-year-old, O site) and recently regenerating (14-year-old, Y site) ponderosa pine forest in central …

Water Limitations To Carbon Exchange In Old-Growth And Young Ponderosa Pine Stands
Irvine, J., Law, B. E., Anthoni, P. M., Meinzer, F. C.
We investigated the impact of seasonal soil water deficit on the processes driving net ecosystem exchange of carbon (NEE) in old-growth and recently regenerating ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Doug. ex Laws.) stands in Oregon. We measured seasonal patterns of transpiration, canopy conductance and …

How The Environment, Canopy Structure And Canopy Physiological Functioning Influence Carbon, Water And Energy Fluxes Of A Temperate Broad-Leaved Deciduous Forest–An Assessment With The Biophysical Model CANOAK
Baldocchi, D. D., Wilson, K. B., Gu, L.
This paper focuses on how canopy structure, its physiological functioning and the environment interact to control and drive the exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor between a temperate forest stand and the atmosphere. First, we present an overview of how temporal and spatial variations …

Carbon Sequestration In A High-Elevation, Subalpine Forest
Monson, R. K., Turnipseed, A. A., Sparks, J. P., Harley, P. C., Scott-Denton, L. E., Sparks, K., Huxman, T. E.

We studied net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) dynamics in a high-elevation, subalpine forest in Colorado, USA, over a two-year period. Annual carbon sequestration for the forest was 6.71 mol C m−2(80.5 g C m−2) for the year between November 1, 1998 and October 31, 1999, and 4.80 mol C m−2(57.6 g C m−2) …

Environmental Controls On Carbon Dioxide Flux From Black Spruce Coarse Woody Debris
Wang, C., Bond-Lamberty, B., Gower, S.

Carbon dioxide flux from coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important source of CO2 in forests with moderate to large amounts of CWD. A process-based understanding of environmental controls on CWD CO2 flux (RCWD) is needed to accurately model carbon exchange between …

Sensitivity Of Large-Footprint Lidar To Canopy Structure And Biomass In A Neotropical Rainforest
Drake, J. B., Dubayah, R. O., Knox, R. G., Clark, D. B., Blair, J.

Accurate estimates of the total biomass in terrestrial vegetation are important for carbon dynamics studies at a variety of scales. Although aboveground biomass is difficult to quantify over large areas using traditional techniques, lidar remote sensing holds great promise for biomass estimation because it directly measures components …

Inversion Of Net Ecosystem CO2 Flux Measurements For Estimation Of Canopy PAR Absorption
Hanan, N. P., Burba, G., Verma, S. B., Berry, J. A., Suyker, A., Walter-Shea, E. A.

The fractional absorption of photosynthetically active radiation (fPAR) is frequently a key variable in models describing terrestrial ecosystem–atmosphere interactions, carbon uptake, growth and biogeochemistry. We present a novel approach to the estimation of the fraction of incident photosynthetically active …
