The Conversion Of The Corn/Soybean Ecosystem To No-Till Agriculture May Result In A Carbon Sink
Bernacchi, C. J., Hollinger, S. E., Meyers, T.

Mitigating or slowing an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) has been the focus of international efforts, most apparent with the development …


Journal: Global Change Biology, Volume 11 (11): 1867-1872 (2005). DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2486.2005.01050.x Sites: US-Bo1, US-Bo2

Observations Of Oxidation Products Above A Forest Imply Biogenic Emissions Of Very Reactive Compounds
Holzinger, R., Lee, A., Paw, K. T., Goldstein, A. H.

Vertical gradients of mixing ratios of volatile organic compounds have been measured in a Ponderosa pine forest in Central California (38.90° N, 120.63° W, 1315m). These measurements reveal large quantities of previously unreported oxidation products of short lived biogenic precursors. The emission of biogenic precursors must be …

Coupling Of Canopy Gas Exchange With Root And Rhizosphere Respiration In A Semi-Arid Forest
Irvine, J., Law, B. E., Kurpius, M. R.

The strength of coupling between canopy gas exchange and root respiration was examined in ~15-yr-old ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Doug. Ex Laws.) growing under seasonally drought stressed conditions. By regularly watering …

Climatic Influences On Net Ecosystem CO2 Exchange During The Transition From Wintertime Carbon Source To Springtime Carbon Sink In A High-Elevation, Subalpine Forest
Monson, R. K., Sparks, J. P., Rosenstiel, T. N., Scott-Denton, L. E., Huxman, T. E., Harley, P. C., Turnipseed, A. A., Burns, S. P., Backlund, B., Hu, J.

The transition between wintertime net carbon loss and springtime net carbon assimilation has an important role in controlling the annual rate of carbon uptake in coniferous forest ecosystems. We studied the contributions of springtime carbon assimilation …

Examining Strategies To Improve The Carbon Balance Of Corn/Soybean Agriculture Using Eddy Covariance And Mass Balance Techniques
Baker, J., Griffis, T.

There is much interest in the role that agricultural practices might play in sequestering carbon to help offset rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations. A number of management methods that might increase soil C levels have been suggested, but there are scant available data to properly support recommendations or policy changes. …

Changes In Soil Microbial Community Structure In A Tallgrass Prairie Chronosequence
Allison, V. J., Miller, R. M., Jastrow, J. D., Matamala, R., Zak, D. R.

Increasing the abundance of fungi relative to bacteria should favor C accrual, because fungi use C more efficiently, and are composed of more recalcitrant C compounds. We examined changes in soil microbial community structure following cessation of tillage-based agriculture and through subsequent succession in a C-accruing tallgrass …

Respiratory Carbon Losses And The Carbon-Use Efficiency Of A Northern Hardwood Forest, 1999-2003
Curtis, P. S., Vogel, C. S., Gough, C. M., Schmid, H. P., Su, H. B., Bovard, B. D.
  • Quantitative assessment of carbon (C) storage by forests requires an understanding of climatic controls over respiratory C loss. Ecosystem respiration can be estimated biometrically as the sum (RΣ) of soil (Rs), leaf (Rl) and wood (Rw) …

Testing A Model Of CO2, Water And Energy Exchange In Great Plains Tallgrass Prairie And Wheat Ecosystems
Hanan, N. P., Berry, J. A., Verma, S. B., Walter-Shea, E. A., Suyker, A. E., Burba, G. G., Denning, A. S.

A land surface model (a modified version of the Simple Biosphere Model, Version 2; SiB2) was parameterized and tested against two years of eddy covariance flux measurements made over un-grazed tallgrass prairie and a winter wheat field in Oklahoma, USA. The land surface model computed 30-min estimates of sensible and latent heat …

An Improved Analysis Of Forest Carbon Dynamics Using Data Assimilation
Williams, M., Schwarz, P. A., Law, B. E., Irvine, J., Kurpius, M. R.

There are two broad approaches to quantifying landscape C dynamics – by measuring changes in C stocks over time, or by measuring fluxes of C directly. However, these data may be patchy, and have gaps or biases. An alternative approach to generating C budgets has been to use process-based models, constructed to simulate the key …

Predicting The Onset Of Net Carbon Uptake By Deciduous Forests With Soil Temperature And Climate Data: A Synthesis Of FLUXNET Data
Baldocchi, D. D., Black, T. A., Curtis, P. S., Falge, E., Fuentes, J. D., Granier, A., Gu, L., Knohl, A., Lee, X., Pilegaard, K., Schmid, H. P., Valentini, R., Wilson, K., Wofsy, S., Xu, L., Yamamoto, S.

We tested the hypothesis that the date of the onset of net carbon uptake by temperate deciduous forest canopies corresponds with the time when the mean daily soil temperature equals the mean annual air temperature. The hypothesis was tested using over 30 …
