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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Measuring Fluxes of Trace Gases and Energy between Ecosystems and the Atmosphere—the State and Future of the Eddy Covariance Method
Baldocchi, D.

The application of the eddy covariance flux method to measure fluxes of trace gas and energy between ecosystems and the atmosphere has exploded over the past 25 years. This opinion paper provides a perspective on the contributions and future opportunities of the eddy covariance method. First, the paper discusses the pros and cons …

Annual patterns and budget of CO2 flux in an Arctic tussock tundra ecosystem
Oechel, Walter. C., Cheryl. A. Laskowski, George. Burba, Beniamino. Gioli, Aram. A. M. Kalhori

The functioning of Arctic ecosystems is not only critically affected by climate change,but it also has the potential for major positive feedback on climate. There is, however, relatively little information on the role, patterns, and vulnerabilities of CO2 fluxes during the nonsummer seasons in Arctic ecosystems. Presented here is …
