Divergence Of Actual And Reference Evapotranspiration Observations For Irrigated Sugarcane With Windy Tropical Conditions
Anderson, R. G., Wang, D., Tirado-Corbalá, R., Zhang, H., Ayars, J. E.

Standardized reference evapotranspiration (ET) and ecosystem-specific vegetation coefficients are frequently used to estimate actual ET. However, equations for calculating reference ET have not been well validated in tropical environments. We measured ET (ETEC) using eddy covariance (EC) towers at two irrigated sugarcane …

Conversion of natural forests to managed forest plantations impacts tree response to climatic variable and affects negatively tree resistance to prolonged droughts
Domec, J.C., Ward, E.J., Oishi, A.C., Palmroth, S., Radecki, A., Bell, D.M., Miao, G., Gavazzi, M., Johnson, D.M., King, J.S., McNulty, S.G., Oren, R., Sun, G., Noormets, A.

Throughout the southern US, past forest management practices have replaced large areas of native
forests with loblolly pine plantations and have resulted in changes in forest response to extreme
weather conditions. However, uncertainty remains about the response of planted versus natural
species to drought across the geographical …

Cambios en el almacenamiento de nitrógeno y agua en el suelo de un matorral desértico transformado a sabana de buffel (Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link)
Celaya-Michel, H.,, F. García-Oliva,, J. C. Rodríguez, A. E. Castellanos-Villegas

El cambio de uso de suelo es uno de los principales factores de la degradación de los ecosistemas naturales, al modificar los procesos de transferencia de nitrógeno y agua reduciendo su productividad. En el presente trabajo, se describe cómo la transformación de matorrales desérticos a sabanas de zacate buffel en la región …

The Carbon Balance Pivot Point Of Southwestern U.S. Semiarid Ecosystems: Insights From The 21st Century Drought
Scott, R. L., Biederman, J. A., Hamerlynck, E. P., Barron-Gafford, G. A.

Global-scale studies indicate that semiarid regions strongly regulate the terrestrial carbon sink. However, we lack understanding of how climatic shifts, such as decadal drought, impact carbon sequestration across the wide range of structural diversity in semiarid ecosystems. Therefore, we used eddy covariance measurements to quantify …

Understory Co 2 , Sensible Heat, And Latent Heat Fluxes In A Black Spruce Forest In Interior Alaska
Ikawa, H., Nakai, T., Busey, R. C., Kim, Y., Kobayashi, H., Nagai, S., Ueyama, M., Saito, K., Nagano, H., Suzuki, R., Hinzman, L.

An open black spruce forest, the most common ecosystem in interior Alaska, is characterized by patchy canopy gaps where the forest understory is exposed. This study measured CO2, sensible heat, and latent heat fluxes with eddy covariance (EC) in one of those large canopy gaps, and estimated understory fluxes in a black spruce forest …

The Oldest, Slowest Rainforests In The World? Massive Biomass And Slow Carbon Dynamics Of Fitzroya Cupressoides Temperate Forests In Southern Chile
Urrutia-Jalabert, R., Malhi, Y., Lara, A.

Old-growth temperate rainforests are, per unit area, the largest and most long-lived stores of carbon in the terrestrial biosphere, but their carbon dynamics have rarely been described. The endangered Fitzroya cupressoides forests of southern South America include stands that are probably the oldest dense forest stands in the world, …
