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, …

Persistent Effects Of Fire-Induced Vegetation Change On Energy Partitioning And Evapotranspiration In Ponderosa Pine Forests
Montes-Helu, M., Kolb, T., Dore, S., Sullivan, B., Hart, S., Koch, G., Hungate, B.

We compared energy fluxes between a site converted from ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forest to sparse grassland by a severe wildfire 10 years ago and a nearby, unburned forest. We used eddy covariance and associated instruments to measure total radiation, net radiation, albedo, and fluxes of energy into latent heat, …

Thinning Reduces Soil Carbon Dioxide But Not Methane Flux From Southwestern Usa Ponderosa Pine Forests
Sullivan, B., Kolb, T., Hart, S., Kaye, J., Dore, S., Montes-Helu, M.

Forest soils are important components of the global carbon cycle because they both store and release carbon. Carbon dioxide is released from soil to the atmosphere as a result of plant root and microbial respiration. Additionally, soils in dry forests are often sinks of methane from the atmosphere. Both carbon dioxide and methane …

Long-Term Impact Of A Stand-Replacing Fire On Ecosystem CO2 Exchange Of A Ponderosa Pine Forest
Dore, S., Kolb, T. E., Montes-Helu, M., Sullivan, B. W., Winslow, W. D., Hart, S. C., Kaye, J. P., Koch, G. W., Hungate, B. A.

Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests of the southwestern United States are a mosaic of stands where undisturbed forests are carbon sinks, and stands recovering from wildfires may be sources of carbon to the atmosphere for decades after the fire. However, the relative magnitude of these sinks and sources has never been …
