Variable Retention Harvesting (VRH) is a forest management practice applied to enhance forest growth, improve biodiversity, preserve ecosystem function and provide economic revenue from harvested timber. There are many different… More
This study analyzed age-related water use dynamics across three temperate conifer forest plantations (aged 11-, 39-, and 74-years old, as of 2013, henceforth referred to as TP02, TP74, and TP39,… More
Forest plantations are commonly used to restore the ecological and hydrological functionality of landscapes. In this study, we investigated the hydrologic response of a 74-year old pine plantation forest in… More
Forests play a major role in the global carbon cycle. Understanding the dynamics of the forest carbon cycle and its driving factors is challenging. This study utilized dendrochronology and long-term… More
Climate extremes such as heat waves and droughts are projected to occur more Frequently with increasing temperature and an intensified hydrological cycle. It is Important to understand and quantify how… More
In forest ecosystems, soil CO2 efflux is an important component of ecosystem respiration (RE), which is generally driven by variability in soil temperature and soil moisture. Tree harvesting in forests… More
The annual carbon and water flux dynamics of two Eastern North American temperate forests were compared over a six-year period from 2012 to 2017. The geographic location, forest age, soil… More
Most North American temperate forests are plantation or regrowth forests, which are actively managed. These forests are in different stages of their growth cycles and their ability to sequester atmospheric… More
Large datasets of greenhouse gas and energy surface-atmosphere fluxes measured with the eddy-covariance technique (e.g., FLUXNET2015, AmeriFlux BASE) are widely used to benchmark models and remote-sensing products. This study addresses… More
