We calculated carbon budgets for a chronosequence of harvested jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) stands (0-, 5-, 10-, and∼29-year-old) and a∼79-year-old stand that originated after wildfire. We measured total ecosystem… More
We measured seasonal and canopy-level gas exchange in two stands of jack pine (Pinus banksianaLamb.) and one stand of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) on relatively clear days from… More
Monitoring of forest evolution and functioning with remote sensing depends on canopy BRF (bidirectional reflectance factor) sensitivity to biophysical parameters and to canopy PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) regime. Here, we… More
This paper shows the results of solar flux measurements routinely collected within boreal conifer forests during BOREAS 1994. Such vegetation have open canopies with a high level of clumping and… More
Leaf area index (LAI) measurements made at 17 forest sites of the Fluxnet Canada Research Network are reported here. In addition to LAI, we also report other major structural parameters… More
Root biomass, net primary production and turnover were studied in aspen, jack pine and black spruce forests in two contrasting climates. The climate of the Southern Study Area (SSA) near… More
We investigated controls over the emission of monoterpenes from two species of boreal forest conifers, black spruce (Picea mariana Miller (B.S.P.)) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb). Monoterpenes are important… More
A process-based, general ecosystem model (BIOME–BGC) was used to simulate daily gross primary production, maintenance and heterotrophic respiration, net primary production and net ecosystem carbon exchange of boreal aspen, jack… More
