A Diagnostic Carbon Flux Model To Monitor The Effects Of Disturbance And Interannual Variation In Climate On Regional NEP
Turner, D. P., Ritts, W. D., Styles, J. M., Yang, Z., Cohen, W. B., Law, B. E., Thornton, P. E.

Net ecosystem production (NEP) was estimated over a 10.9 × 104 km2 forested region in western Oregon USA for 2 yr (2002–2003) using a combination of remote sensing, distributed meteorological data, and a carbon cycle model (CFLUX). High spatial resolution satellite data (Landsat, 30 m) provided information …

Forest Soil Respiration Across Three Climatically Distinct Chronosequences In Oregon
Campbell, J., Law, B.

To assess the relative influence of edaphoclimatic gradients and stand replacing disturbance on the soil respiration of Oregon forests, we measured annual soil respiration at 36 independent forest plots arranged as three replicates of four age classes in …

Assessing The Past And Future Distribution And Productivity Of Ponderosa Pine In The Pacific Northwest Using A Process Model, 3-Pg
Coops, N. C., Waring, R. H., Law, B. E.

Climate variability at decadal scales influences not only the growth of widely distributed species such as Pinus ponderosa, but also can have an effect on the timing and severity of fire and insect outbreaks that may alter species distributions. In this paper, we present a spatial modelling technique to assess the influence …

An Analysis Of Soil Respiration Across Northern Hemisphere Temperate Ecosystems
Hibbard, K. A., Law, B. E., Reichstein, M., Sulzman, J.

Over two-thirds of terrestrial carbon is stored belowground and a significant amount of atmospheric CO2 is respired by roots and microbes in soils. For this analysis, soil respiration (Rs) data were assembled from 31 AmeriFlux and CarboEurope sites representing deciduous broadleaf, evergreen needleleaf, grasslands, mixed …

Variability In Net Primary Production And Carbon Storage In Biomass Across Oregon Forests—An Assessment Integrating Data From Forest Inventories, Intensive Sites, And Remote Sensing
Van Tuyl, S., Law, B., Turner, D., Gitelman, A.

We used a combination of data from USDA Forest Service inventories, intensive chronosequences, extensive sites, and satellite remote sensing, to estimate biomass and net primary production (NPP) for the forested region of western Oregon. The study area was divided into four …

Coupling Of Canopy Gas Exchange With Root And Rhizosphere Respiration In A Semi-Arid Forest
Irvine, J., Law, B. E., Kurpius, M. R.

The strength of coupling between canopy gas exchange and root respiration was examined in ~15-yr-old ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Doug. Ex Laws.) growing under seasonally drought stressed conditions. By regularly watering …

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 …

Dynamics Of Carbon Stocks In Soils And Detritus Across Chronosequences Of Different Forest Types In The Pacific Northwest, USA
Sun, O. J., Campbell, J., Law, B. E., Wolf, V.

We investigated variation in carbon stock in soils and detritus (forest floor and woody debris) in chronosequences that represent the range of forest types in the US Pacific Northwest. Stands range in age from <13 to >600 years. Soil carbon, to a depth of 100 cm, was highest in coastal Sitka spruce/western hemlock forests …

Disturbance And Net Ecosystem Production Across Three Climatically Distinct Forest Landscapes
Campbell, J. L., Sun, O. J., Law, B. E.

Biometric techniques were used to measure net ecosystem production (NEP) across three climatically distinct forest chronosequences in Oregon. NEP was highly negative immediately following stand-replacing disturbance in all forests and recovered to positive values by 10, 20, and 30 years of age for the mild and mesic Coast Range, …
