Seasonal Hydrology Explains Interannual And Seasonal Variation In Carbon And Water Exchange In A Semiarid Mature Ponderosa Pine Forest In Central Oregon
Thomas, C. K., Law, B. E., Irvine, J., Martin, J. G., Pettijohn, J. C., Davis, K. J.

We analyzed 7 years (2002–2008) of micrometeorological and concurrent biological observations of carbon and water fluxes at a mature ponderosa pine forest in central Oregon in a semiarid climate. We sought to evaluate the extent that gross primary productivity, net ecosystem exchange, ecosystem respiration, net primary productivity, …

Debut Of A Flexible Model For Simulating Soil Respiration–Soil Temperature Relationship: Gamma Model
Khomik M., Arain A. M.: Liaw K. L., McCaughey H. J.

A number of empirical models are used in literature to simulate the response of soil respiration (Rs) to soil temperature (Ts). The most widely used ones are the exponential Q10 model and the sigmoid-shaped Lloyd-Taylor and logistic models. None of these models are applicable across a wide range of ecosystems or climates, and none …

Soil Co2efflux In Contrasting Boreal Deciduous And Coniferous Stands And Its Contribution To The Ecosystem Carbon Balance
GAUMONT-GUAY, D., BLACK, T. A., MCCAUGHEY, H., BARR, A. G., KRISHNAN, P., JASSAL, R. S., NESIC, Z.

Similar nonsteady-state automated chamber systems were used to measure and partition
soil CO2 efflux in contrasting deciduous (trembling aspen) and coniferous (black spruce
and jack pine) stands located within 100km of each other near the southern edge of the
Boreal forest in Canada. The stands were exposed to similar climate …

Influence Of Clouds And Diffuse Radiation On Ecosystem-Atmosphere Co2and Co18o Exchanges
Still, C. J., Riley, W. J., Biraud, S. C., Noone, D. C., Buenning, N. H., Randerson, J. T., Torn, M. S., Welker, J., White, J. W., Vachon, R., Farquhar, G. D., Berry, J. A.

This study evaluates the potential impact of clouds on ecosystem CO2 and CO2 isotope fluxes (“isofluxes”) in two contrasting ecosystems (a broadleaf deciduous forest and a C4 grassland) in a region for which cloud cover, meteorological, and isotope data are available for driving the isotope‐enabled land surface model (ISOLSM). …

Strong links between teleconnections and ecosystem exchange found at a Pacific Northwest old-growth forest from flux tower and MODIS EVI data
Wharton, S., Chasmer, L., Falk, M., Paw U, K.T.

Variability in three Pacific teleconnection patterns are examined to see if net carbon exchange at a low-elevation, old-growth forest is affected by climatic changes associated with these periodicities. Examined are the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), Pacific/North American Oscillation (PNA) and El Niño-Southern Oscillation …

Woody Plants Modulate The Temporal Dynamics Of Soil Moisture In A Semi-Arid Mesquite Savanna
Potts, D. L., Scott, R. L., Bayram, S., Carbonara, J.

Climate variability and human activities interact to increase the abundance of woody plants in arid and semi-arid ecosystems worldwide. How woody plants interact with rainfall …

Regional Co2and Latent Heat Surface Fluxes In The Southern Great Plains: Measurements, Modeling, And Scaling
Riley, W. J., Biraud, S. C., Torn, M. S., Fischer, M. L., Billesbach, D. P., Berry, J. A.

Characterizing net ecosystem exchanges (NEE) of CO2 and sensible and latent heat fluxes in heterogeneous landscapes is difficult, yet critical given expected changes in climate and land use. We report here a measurement and modeling study designed to improve our understanding of surface to atmosphere gas exchanges under very heterogeneous …

Stand-level gas-exchange responses to seasonal drought in very young versus old Douglas-fir forests of the Pacific Northwest
Wharton, S., Schroeder, M., Bible, K., Falk, M., Paw U, K.T.

This study examines how stand age affects ecosystem mass and energy exchange response to seasonal drought in three adjacent Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) forests. The sites include two early seral (ES) stands (0-15 years old) and an old-growth (OG) (~ 450-500 years old) forest in the Wind River Experiment Forest, …
