Modeling BRFAnd Radiation Regime Of Boreal And Tropical Forests
Gastellu-Etchegorry, J., Guillevic, P., Zagolski, F., Demarez, V., Trichon, V., Deering, D., Leroy, M.

Monitoring of forest evolution and functioning with remote sensing depends on canopy BRF (bidirectional reflectance factor) sensitivity to biophysical parameters and to canopy PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) regime. Here, we study the canopy BRF of a tropical (Sumatra) …

Characterization Of Radiation Regimes In Nonrandom Forest Canopies: Theory, Measurements, And A Simplified Modeling Approach
Kucharik, C. J., Norman, J. M., Gower, S. T.
We used field measurements and Monte Carlo simulations of canopy gap-size distribution and gap fraction to examine how beam radiation interacts with clumped boreal forest canopies of aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.), black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) and jack pine (Pinus …

Seasonal Patterns And Environmental Control Of Carbon Dioxide And Water Vapour Exchange In An Ecotonal Boreal Forest
Hollinger, D. Y., Goltz, S. M., Davidson, E. A., Lee, J. T., Tu, K., Valentine, H. T.

Carbon dioxide, water vapour, and sensible heat fluxes were measured above and within a spruce dominated forest near the southern ecotone of the boreal forest in Maine, USA. Summer, mid-day carbon dioxide uptake was higher than at other boreal coniferous forests, averaging about – 13 μmol CO2 m–2 s–1. …

Dynamics Of Isotopic Exchange Of Carbon Dioxide In A Tennessee Deciduous Forest
Bowling, D. R., Baldocchi, D. D., Monson, R. K.

The combination of isotopic measurements and micrometeorological flux measurements is a powerful new approach that will likely lead to new insight into the dynamics of CO2 exchange between terrestrial …

Photosynthetic Acclimation To Elevated Atmospheric CO2 Concentration In The Florida Scrub-Oak Species Quercus Geminata And Quercus Myrtifolia Growing In Their Native Environment
Li, J., Dijkstra, P., Hinkle, C. R., Wheeler, R. M., Drake, B. G.

Long-term effects of elevated CO2 concentration (ambient plus 350 μmol mol−1) on leaf photosynthetic acclimation of two species of a scrub-oak community, Quercus myrtifolia Willd. and Quercus geminata Small, were studied. Plants of both species were grown in open-top chambers in their natural …

Effects Of Climatic Variability On The Annual Carbon Sequestration By A Boreal Aspen Forest
Chen, W. J., Black, T. A., Yang, P. C., Barr, A. G., Neumann, H. H., Nesic, Z., Blanken, P. D., Novak, M. D., Eley, J., Ketler, R. J., Cuenca, R.

To evaluate the carbon budget of a boreal deciduous forest, we measured CO2 fluxes using the eddy covariance technique above an old aspen (OA) forest in Prince Albert National Park, Saskatchewan, Canada, in 1994 and 1996 as part of the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS). We found that the OA forest is a strong …

Effect Of Spring Burning On The Surface Energy Balance In A Tallgrass Prairie
Bremer, D. J., Ham, J. M.

Spring burning of dead biomass in tallgrass prairie is a common practice that may influence heat and water vapor transport from the landscape. Bowen ratio methods were used to measure the surface energy balances and evapotranspiration (ET) from burned (B) and unburned (UB) prairie near Manhattan, KS, USA. Data were collected from …

Canopy Fluxes Of 2-Methyl-3-Buten-2-Ol Over A Ponderosa Pine Forest By Relaxed Eddy Accumulation: Field Data And Model Comparison
Baker, B., Guenther, A., Greenberg, J., Goldstein, A., Fall, R.

Canopy level flux measurements of 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBO) were made over a 7 year old ponderosa pine plantation in the Sierra Nevada range of California using the relaxed eddy accumulation method. Fluxes …

Relationships Between Leaf Area Index And Landsat TM Spectral Vegetation Indices Across Three Temperate Zone Sites
Turner, D. P., Cohen, W. B., Kennedy, R. E., Fassnacht, K. S., Briggs, J. M.

Mapping and monitoring of leaf area index (LAI) is important for spatially distributed modeling of vegetation productivity, evapotranspiration, and surface energy balance. Global LAI surfaces will be an early product of the MODIS Land Science Team, and the requirements for …

Eddy Covariance Measurements Of CO2 And Energy Fluxes Of An Alaskan Tussock Tundra Ecosystem
Vourlitis, G. L., Oechel, W. C.

Eddy covariance was used to measure the net CO2 exchange and energy balance of a moist-tussock tundra ecosystem at Happy Valley, Alaska (69°08.54′ N, 148°50.47′ W), during the 1994–1995 growing seasons (June–August). The system operated for 75–95% of the time, and energy balance closure was within 5%, indicating …
