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 …

Coarse Root Distribution Of A Semi-Arid Oak Savanna Estimated With Ground Penetrating Radar
Raz-Yaseef, N., Koteen, L., Baldocchi, D. D.

The binary nature of Northern California’s ecohydrology, in which water is either abundantly available or scarce, should be reflected in the root architecture of the native blue oak. Our objective was to quantify carbon storage and understand how the form of the root system facilitates ecosystem functioning despite the asynchrony …

Modeling Energy And Carbon Fluxes In A Heterogeneous Oak Woodland: A Three-Dimensional Approach
Kobayashi, H., Baldocchi, D. D., Ryu, Y., Chen, Q., Ma, S., Osuna, J. L., Ustin, S. L.

Most land surface and ecosystem models assume that a vegetated canopy can be abstracted as a turbid medium when such models compute mass, energy, and carbon exchange. However, those models fail to simulate radiation environments in heterogeneous landscapes. This study aims to couple a spatially explicit three-dimensional (3D) shortwave …

Are Temporal Variations Of Leaf Traits Responsible For Seasonal And Inter-Annual Variability In Ecosystem CO2 Exchange?
Ma, S., Baldocchi, D. D., Mambelli, S., Dawson, T. E.
  1.  Seasonal and inter-annual variability in ecosystem carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange is attributed to numerous climate drivers. However, climate effects on metabolism often override ecological functions. This study seeks insight into which biological and ecological processes influence temporal patterns of ecosystem …

On The Correct Estimation Of Effective Leaf Area Index: Does It Reveal Information On Clumping Effects?
Ryu, Y., Nilson, T., Kobayashi, H., Sonnentag, O., Law, B. E., Baldocchi, D. D.

Effective leaf area index is routinely quantified with optical instruments that measure gap fraction through the probability of beam penetration of sunlight through the vegetation. However, there have been few efforts to obtain theoretically consistent effective leaf area …

On The Differential Advantages Of Evergreenness And Deciduousness In Mediterranean Oak Woodlands: A Flux Perspective
Baldocchi, D. D., Ma, S., Rambal, S., Misson, L., Ourcival, J., Limousin, J., Pereira, J., Papale, D.

We assessed the differential advantages of deciduousness and evergreenness by examining 26 site-years of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy flux measurements from five comparable oak woodlands in France, Italy, Portugal, and California (USA). On average, the evergreen and deciduous oak woodlands assimilated and respired similar …

Groundwater Uptake By Woody Vegetation In A Semiarid Oak Savanna
Miller, G. R., Chen, X., Rubin, Y., Ma, S., Baldocchi, D. D.

Groundwater can serve as an important resource for woody vegetation in semiarid landscapes, particularly when soil water is functionally depleted and unavailable to plants. This study examines the uptake of groundwater by deciduous blue oak trees (Quercus douglasii) in a California oak savanna. Here we present a suite of …
