Representing Winter Wheat In The Community Land Model (Version 4.5)
Lu, Y., Williams, I. N., Bagley, J. E., Torn, M. S., Kueppers, L. M.

Winter wheat is a staple crop for global food security, and is the dominant vegetation cover for a significant fraction of Earth’s croplands. As such, it plays an important role in carbon cycling and land–atmosphere interactions in these key regions. Accurate simulation of winter wheat growth is not only crucial for future yield …

The Influence Of Land Cover On Surface Energy Partitioning And Evaporative Fraction Regimes In The U.S. Southern Great Plains
Bagley, J. E., Kueppers, L. M., Billesbach, D. P., Williams, I. N., Biraud, S. C., Torn, M. S.

Land‐atmosphere interactions are important to climate prediction, but the underlying effects of surface forcing of the atmosphere are not well understood. In the U.S. Southern Great Plains, grassland/pasture and winter wheat are the dominant land covers but have distinct growing periods that may differently influence land‐atmosphere …

Land-Atmosphere Coupling And Climate Prediction Over The U.S. Southern Great Plains
Williams, I. N., Lu, Y., Kueppers, L. M., Riley, W. J., Biraud, S. C., Bagley, J. E., Torn, M. S.

Biases in land‐atmosphere coupling in climate models can contribute to climate prediction biases, but land models are rarely evaluated in the context of this coupling. We tested land‐atmosphere coupling and explored effects of land surface parameterizations on climate prediction in a single‐column version of the National Center …

Separating The Effects Of Phenology And Diffuse Radiation On Gross Primary Productivity In Winter Wheat
Williams, I. N., Riley, W. J., Kueppers, L. M., Biraud, S. C., Torn, M. S.

Gross primary productivity (GPP) has been reported to increase with the fraction of diffuse solar radiation, for a given total irradiance. The correlation between GPP and diffuse radiation suggests effects of diffuse radiation on canopy light‐use efficiency, but potentially confounding effects of vegetation phenology have not been …

Vulnerability Of Crops And Native Grasses To Summer Drying In The U.S. Southern Great Plains
Raz-Yaseef, N., Billesbach, D. P., Fischer, M. L., Biraud, S. C., Gunter, S. A., Bradford, J. A., Torn, M. S.

The Southern Great Plains are characterized by a fine-scale mixture of different land-cover types, predominantly winter-wheat and grazed pasture, with relatively small areas of other crops, native prairie, and switchgrass. Recent droughts and predictions of increased …

Does day and night sampling reduce spurious correlation between canopy photosynthesis and ecosystem respiration?
Dennis Baldocchi, Cove Sturtevant

It is necessary to partition eddy covariance measurements of carbon dioxide exchange into its offsetting gross fluxes, canopy photosynthesis, and ecosystem respiration, to understand the biophysical controls on the net fluxes. And independent estimates of canopy photosynthesis (G) and ecosystem respiration (R) are needed to validate …

Greenness Indices From Digital Cameras Predict The Timing And Seasonal Dynamics Of Canopy-Scale Photosynthesis
Toomey, M., Friedl, M. A., Frolking, S., Hufkens, K., Klosterman, S., Sonnentag, O., Baldocchi, D. D., Bernacchi, C. J., Biraud, S. C., Bohrer, G., Brzostek, E., Burns, S.

The proliferation of digital cameras co‐located with eddy covariance instrumentation provides new opportunities to better understand the relationship between canopy phenology and the seasonality of canopy photosynthesis. In this paper we analyze the abilities and limitations of canopy color metrics measured by digital repeat photography …
