Evaluation of impacts of management in an anthropogenic peatland using field and remote sensing data
Cabezas, J., Galleguillos, M., Valdés, A., Fuentes, J.P., Pérez, C., Pérez-Quezada, J.

Peatlands are a type of wetland characterized by the accumulation of organic matter, called peat, and are important carbon reservoirs. In areas with poor drainage, human-induced forest fires and logging can produce flooded conditions and organic matter accumulation, which generates an ecosystem called anthropogenic peatland. Productive …

Effects of forest management on productivity and carbon sequestration: a review and hypothesis
Noormets, A., Epron, D., Domec, J.C., McNulty, S.G., Fox, T.D., Chen, J., Sun, G., King, J.S.

With an increasing fraction of the world’s forests being intensively managed for meeting humanity’s need for wood, fiber and ecosystem services, quantitative understanding of the functional changes in these ecosystems in comparison with natural forests is needed. In particular, the role of managed forests as long-term carbon …

The Influence Of Warm-Season Precipitation On The Diel Cycle Of The Surface Energy Balance And Carbon Dioxide At A Colorado Subalpine Forest Site
Burns, S. P., Blanken, P. D., Turnipseed, A. A., Hu, J., Monson, R. K.

Landscape-Level Terrestrial Methane Flux Observed From A Very Tall Tower
Desai, A. R., Xu, K., Tian, H., Weishampel, P., Thom, J., Baumann, D., Andrews, A. E., Cook, B. D., King, J. Y., Kolka, R.

Simulating the magnitude and variability of terrestrial methane sources and sinks poses a challenge to ecosystem models because the biophysical and biogeochemical processes that lead to methane emissions from terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems are, by their nature, episodic and spatially disjunct. As a consequence, model predictions …

Variations Of Net Ecosystem Production Due To Seasonal Precipitation Differences In A Tropical Dry Forest Of Northwest Mexico
Verduzco, V. S., Garatuza-Payán, J., Yépez, E. A., Watts, C. J., Rodríguez, J. C., Robles-Morua, A., Vivoni, E. R.

Due to their large extent and high primary productivity, tropical dry forests (TDF) are important contributors to atmospheric carbon exchanges in subtropical and tropical regions. In northwest Mexico, a bimodal precipitation regime that includes winter precipitation derived from Pacific storms and summer precipitation from the North …

Moderate forest disturbance as a stringent test for gap and big-leaf models
Bond-Lamberty, B. Fisk, J. Holm, J.A. Bailey, V. Bohrer, G. Gough, C.M.

Disturbance-induced tree mortality is a key factor regulating the carbon balance of a forest, but tree mortality and its subsequent effects are poorly represented processes in terrestrial ecosystem models. It is thus unclear whether models can robustly simulate moderate (non-catastrophic) disturbances, which tend to increase biological …

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. P., Coursolle, C., Hollinger, D. Y., Margolis, H. A., McCaughey, H., Monson, R. K., Munger, J. W., Pallardy, S., Phillips, R. P., Torn, M. S., Wharton, S., Zeri, M., Richardson, A. D.

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 …

Age Effects On The Water-Use Efficiency And Water-Use Dynamics Of Temperate Pine Plantation Forests
Skubel, R., Arain, M. A., Peichl, M., Brodeur, J. J., Khomik, M., Thorne, R., Trant, J., Kula, M.

This study analyzed age-related water use dynamics across three temperate conifer forest plantations (aged 11-, 39-, and 74-years old, as of 2013, henceforth referred to as TP02, TP74, and TP39, where the last two digits represent the year of planting) in southern Ontario, Canada from 2008 to 2013. Eddy covariance-measured mean evapotranspiration …
