Biophysical controls on interannual variability in ecosystem-scale CO2 and CH4 exchange in a California rice paddy.
Knox, S. H., J. H. Matthes, C. Sturtevant, P. Y. Oikawa, J. Verfaillie, and D. Baldocchi.

We present 6.5 years of eddy covariance measurements of fluxes of methane (FCH4) and carbon dioxide (FCO2) from a flooded rice paddy in Northern California, USA. A pronounced warming trend throughout the study associated with drought and record high temperatures strongly influenced carbon (C) budgets and provided insights into …

Terrestrial Carbon Cycle Variability
Baldocchi, D., Ryu, Y, Keenan, T

A growing literature is reporting on how the terrestrial carbon cycle is experiencing year-to-year variability because of climate anomalies and trends caused by global change. As CO2 concentration records in the atmosphere exceed 50 years and as satellite records reach over 30 years in length, we are becoming better able to address …

Contrasting Precipitation Seasonality Influences Evapotranspiration Dynamics In Water-Limited Shrublands
Villarreal, S., Vargas, R., Yepez, E. A., Acosta, J. S., Castro, A., Escoto-Rodriguez, M., Lopez, E., Martínez-Osuna, J., Rodriguez, J. C., Smith, S. V., Vivoni, E. R., Watts, C. J.

Water‐limited ecosystems occupy nearly 30% of the Earth, but arguably, the controls on their ecosystem processes remain largely uncertain. We analyzed six site years of eddy covariance measurements of evapotranspiration (ET) from 2008 to 2010 at two water‐limited shrublands: one dominated by winter precipitation (WP site) and …

The Surface-Atmosphere Exchange Of Carbon Dioxide, Water, And Sensible Heat Across A Dryland Wheat-Fallow Rotation
Vick, E. S., Stoy, P. C., Tang, A. C., Gerken, T.

Summer fallow – the practice of keeping a field out of production during the growing season – is a common practice in dryland wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping systems to conserve soil water resources. Fallow also depletes soil carbon stocks and thereby soil quality. The area of summer fallow has decreased by tens of millions …

The impact of expanding flooded land area on the annual evaporation of rice. Agricultural and Forest Meteorology
Baldocchi, D., S. Knox, I. Dronova, J. Verfaillie, P. Oikawa, C. Sturtevant, J. H. Matthes, and M. Detto.

The amount of published data on annual evaporation on rice remains extremely limited despite the role of rice as a key food source. We report on six years of rice evaporation measurements, based on the eddy covariance method. This rice was cultivated in the hot dry climate of California, where water is a scarce and precious resource. …

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 …

Overstory species composition, structure, and conservation challenges of a mature, natural-origin pine stand after decades of management
Don C. Bragg

This study provides a preliminary assessment of 4 compartments on the Crossett
Experimental Forest (CEF) being restored to old-growth-like conditions. After being
partially cleared for agriculture or lumbered in the late 1910s, Compartments 1, 2, 11, and
12 were included in a combination of pulpwood-thinning and uneven-aged cutting-cycle
studies …
