Evapotranspiration And Soil Water Content In A Scrub-Oak Woodland Under Carbon Dioxide Enrichment
Hungate, B. A., Reichstein, M., Dijkstra, P., Johnson, D., Hymus, G., Tenhunen, J. D., Hinkle, C., Drake, B. G.

Leaf conductance often decreases in response to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (Ca) potentially leading to changes in hydrology. We describe the hydrological responses of Florida scrub oak to elevated Ca during an eight-month period two years after Ca

Modeling Seasonal To Annual Carbon Balance Of Mer Bleue Bog, Ontario, Canada
Frolking, S., Roulet, N. T., Moore, T. R., Lafleur, P. M., Bubier, J. L., Crill, P. M.

Northern peatlands contain enormous quantities of organic carbon within a few meters of the atmosphere and play a significant role in the planetary carbon balance. We have developed a new, process-oriented model of the contemporary carbon balance of northern peatlands, the Peatland Carbon Simulator (PCARS). Components of PCARS are …

Photosynthesis And Respiration Of Black Spruce At Three Organizational Scales: Shoot, Branch And Canopy
Rayment, M. B., Loustau, D., Jarvis, P. J.
To gain insight into the function of photosynthesis and respiration as processes operating within a global ecosystem, we measured gas exchange of mature black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) trees at three organizational scales: individual shoots, whole branches and a forest canopy. A biochemical …

Relationship Of Area-Averaged Carbon Dioxide And Water Vapour Fluxes To Atmospheric Variables
Mahrt, L., Vickers, D.

Area-averaged fluxes are constructed from a combination of aircraft and tower data collected during BOREAS. The averaging area includes both conifer and deciduous forests, wetlands, burned areas and bodies of water. The area-averaged water vapour flux is closely related …

Measurement Carbon Dioxide Concentration Does Not Affect Root Respiration Of Nine Tree Species In The Field
Burton, A. J., Pregitzer, K. S.
Inhibition of respiration has been reported as a short-term response of tree roots to elevated measurement CO2 concentration ([CO2]), calling into question the validity of root respiration rates determined at CO2 concentrations that differ from the soil [CO2] in …

Estimating Net Primary Productivity From Grassland Biomass Dynamics Measurements
Scurlock, J. M., Johnson, K., Olson, R. J.

To address the need for a high quality data set based upon field observations suitable for parameterization, calibration, and validation of terrestrial biosphere models, we have developed a comprehensive global database on net primary productivity (NPP). We have compiled field measurements of biomass and associated environmental …

Short-Term Light And Leaf Photosynthetic Dynamics Affect Estimates Of Daily Understory Photosynthesis In Four Tree Species
Naumburg, E., Ellsworth, D. S.
Instantaneous measurements of photosynthesis are often implicitly or explicitly scaled to longer time frames to provide an understanding of plant performance in a given environment. For plants growing in a forest understory, results from photosynthetic light response curves in conjunction with diurnal light …

Photosynthesis And Light-Use Efficiency By Plants In A Canadian Boreal Forest Ecosystem
Whitehead, D., Gower, S. T.
Measurements of the photosynthetic response to midsummer irradiance were made for 11 species representing the dominant trees, understory shrubs, herbaceous plants and moss species in an old black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) boreal forest ecosystem. Maximum rates of photosynthesis per unit …

Response Of Stomatal Conductance To Drought In Ponderosa Pine: Implications For Carbon And Ozone Uptake
Panek, J. A., Goldstein, A. H.
To gain insight into the limitations imposed by a typical Mediterranean-climate summer drought on the uptake of carbon and ozone in the ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) ecosystem, we compared diurnal trends in leaf physiology of young trees in a watered and a control plot …
