Disturbance And Climate Effects On Carbon Stocks And Fluxes Across Western Oregon USA
Law, B. E., Turner, D., Campbell, J., Sun, O. J., Van Tuyl, S., Ritts, W. D., Cohen, W. B.

We used a spatially nested hierarchy of field and remote-sensing observations and a process model, Biome-BGC, to produce a carbon budget for the forested region of Oregon, and to determine the relative influence of differences in climate and disturbance among the ecoregions on carbon stocks and fluxes. The simulations suggest that …

Response Of The Carbon Isotopic Content Of Ecosystem, Leaf, And Soil Respiration To Meteorological And Physiological Driving Factors In A Pinus Ponderosa Ecosystem
McDowell, N. G., Bowling, D. R., Bond, B. J., Irvine, J., Law, B. E., Anthoni, P., Ehleringer, J. R.

Understanding the controls over ecosystem-respired δ13C (δ13CR) is important for applications of isotope-based models of the global carbon budget as well as for understanding ecosystem-level variation in isotopic discrimination (Δ). Discrimination may be strongly dependent on synoptic-scale variation …

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 …

Oxygen Isotope Content Of CO2 In Nocturnal Ecosystem Respiration: 1. Observations In Forests Along A Precipitation Transect In Oregon, USA
Bowling, D. R., McDowell, N. G., Welker, J. M., Bond, B. J., Law, B. E., Ehleringer, J. R.

The oxygen isotope content of nocturnal ecosystem respiration (δ18OR) was examined in forests along a precipitation gradient in Oregon, USA, to determine whether site-to-site variation in δ18OR was more strongly related to variation in δ18O of precipitation or to evaporative …

Oxygen Isotope Content Of CO2 in Nocturnal Ecosystem Respiration: 2. Short-Term Dynamics Of Foliar And Soil Component Fluxes In An Old-Growth Ponderosa Pine Forest
Bowling, D. R., McDowell, N. G., Welker, J. M., Bond, B. J., Law, B. E., Ehleringer, J. R.

The oxygen isotope contents (δ18O) of soil, xylem, and leaf water and ecosystem respiration were studied in a ponderosa pine forest during summer 2001. Our goal was to assess whether δ18O of CO2could be used to quantify the relative contributions of soil and foliar respiration to total nocturnal …

Modeling Temporal And Large-Scale Spatial Variability Of Soil Respiration From Soil Water Availability, Temperature And Vegetation Productivity Indices
Reichstein, M., Rey, A., Freibauer, A., Tenhunen, J., Valentini, R., Banza, J., Casals, P., Cheng, Y., Grünzweig, J. M., Irvine, J., Joffre, R., Law, B. E., Loustau, D., Miglietta, F., Oechel, W., Ourcival, J., Pereira, J. S., Peressotti, A., Ponti, F., Qi, Y., Rambal, S., Rayment, M., Romanya, J., Rossi, F., Tedeschi, V., Tirone, G., Xu, M., Yakir, D.

Field-chamber measurements of soil respiration from 17 different forest and shrubland sites in Europe and North America were summarized and analyzed with the goal to develop a model describing seasonal, interannual and spatial variability of soil respiration as affected by water availability, temperature, and site properties. The …

Changes In Carbon Storage And Fluxes In A Chronosequence Of Ponderosa Pine
Law, B. E., Sun, O. J., Campbell, J., Van Tuyl, S., Thornton, P. E.

Forest development following stand-replacing disturbance influences a variety of ecosystem processes including carbon exchange with the atmosphere. On a series of ponderosa pine (Pinius ponderosa var. Laws.) stands ranging from 9 to> 300 years in central Oregon, USA, we used biological measurements to estimate carbon …

Seasonal Differences In Carbon And Water Vapor Exchange In Young And Old-Growth Ponderosa Pine Ecosystems
Anthoni, P. M., Unsworth, M. H., Law, B. E., Irvine, J., Baldocchi, D. D., Tuyl, S. V., Moore, D.

Eddy covariance measurements of carbon dioxide and water vapor exchange were made above a young and an old-growth ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex P. & C. Laws) ecosystem located in a semiarid environment in central Oregon. The old-growth stand (O site) is a mixture of 250- and 50-year-old ponderosa …
