Hydraulic Redistribution Of Soil Water By Roots Affects Whole-Stand Evapotranspiration And Net Ecosystem Carbon Exchange
Domec, J., King, J. S., Noormets, A., Treasure, E., Gavazzi, M. J., Sun, G., McNulty, S. G.
  • Hydraulic redistribution (HR) of water via roots from moist to drier portions of the soil occurs in many ecosystems, potentially influencing both water use and carbon assimilation.
  • By measuring soil water content, sap flow and eddy covariance, we investigated the temporal variability of …

Biometric And Eddy-Covariance Based Estimates Of Carbon Fluxes In An Age-Sequence Of Temperate Pine Forests
Peichl, M., Brodeur, J. J., Khomik, M., Arain, M. A.

We present four years (2005–2008) of biometric (B) and eddy-covariance (EC) measurements of carbon (C) fluxes to constrain estimates of gross primary production (GPP), net primary production (NPP), ecosystem respiration (RE) and net ecosystem production (NEP) in an age-sequence (6-, 19-, 34-, and 69-years-old in 2008) of pine forests …

Plant-Soil Interactions And Acclimation To Temperature Of Microbial-Mediated Soil Respiration May Affect Predictions Of Soil CO2 Efflux
Curiel Yuste, J., Ma, S., Baldocchi, D. D.

It is well known that microbial-mediated soil respiration, the major source of CO2 from terrestrial ecosystems, is sensitive to temperature. Here, we hypothesize that some mechanisms, such as acclimation of microbial respiration to temperature and/or regulation by plant fresh C inputs of the temperature sensitivity of …

Tree Species Effects On Ecosystem Water-Use Efficiency In A High-Elevation, Subalpine Forest
Monson, R. K., Prater, M. R., Hu, J., Burns, S. P., Sparks, J. P., Sparks, K. L., Scott-Denton, L. E.

Ecosystem water-use efficiency (eWUE; the ratio of net ecosystem productivity to evapotranspiration rate) is a complex landscape-scale parameter controlled by both physical and biological processes occurring in soil and plants. Leaf WUE (lWUE; the ratio of leaf CO2 assimilation rate to transpiration rate) is controlled at short time …

Carbon Dioxide And Methane Fluxes From Arctic Mudboils
Wilson, K. S., Humphreys, E. R.

Climate change is expected to alter the Arctic’s carbon (C) balance and changes in these C-rich ecosystems may contribute to a positive feedback on global climate change. Low-center mudboils, a form of patterned ground in the Arctic, are distinct landforms in which the exchange of greenhouse gases between the atmosphere and soil …

Global Convergence In The Temperature Sensitivity Of Respiration At Ecosystem Level
Mahecha, M. D., Reichstein, M., Carvalhais, N., Lasslop, G., Lange, H., Seneviratne, S. I., Vargas, R., Ammann, C., Arain, M. A., Cescatti, A., Janssens, I. A., Migliavacca, M., Montagnani, L., Richardson, A. D.

As climate change accelerates, it is important to know the likely impact of climate change on the carbon cycle (see the Perspective by Reich). Gross primary production (GPP) …

Uncertainty Estimates For 1-H Averaged Turbulence Fluxes Of Carbon Dioxide, Latent Heat And Sensible Heat
Vickers, D., Göckede, M., Law, B.

A new observational approach is presented to approximate the uncertainty (scatter or error variance) in 1-h averaged turbulence fluxes …

Ecosystem Carbon Dioxide Fluxes After Disturbance In Forests Of North America
Amiro, B.D., Barr, A.G., Barr, J.G., Black, T.A., Bracho, R., Brown, M., Chen, J., Clark, K.L., Davis, K.J., Desai, A.R., Dore, S., Engel, V., Fuentes, J.D., Goldstein, A.H., Goulden, M.L., Kolb, T.E., Lavigne, M.B., Law, B.E., Margolis, H.A., Martin, T., McCaughey, J.H., Misson, L., Montes-Helu, M., Noormets, A., Randerson, J.T., Starr, G., Xiao, J.

Disturbances are important for renewal of North American forests. Here we summarize more than 180 site years of eddy covariance measurements of carbon dioxide flux made at forest chronosequences in North America. The disturbances included stand-replacing fire (Alaska, Arizona, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan) and harvest (British Columbia, …

Longer Growing Seasons Lead To Less Carbon Sequestration By A Subalpine Forest
Hu, J., Moore, D. J., Burns, S. P., Monson, R. K.

As global temperatures increase, the potential for longer growing seasons to enhance the terrestrial carbon sink has been proposed as a mechanism to reduce the rate of further warming. At the Niwot Ridge AmeriFlux site, a subalpine forest in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, we used a 9‐year record (1999–2007) of continuous eddy …
