Canopy temperature dynamics are closely aligned with ecosystem water availability across a water- to energy-limited gradient
Javadian, M., Scott, R. L., Woodgate, W., Richardson, A. D., Dannenberg, M. P., Smith, W. K.

Canopy temperature (Tc) plays an important role in regulating the rates of mass and energy fluxes at the leaf surface. Better understanding of the relationship between Tc and water availability may enable more accurate monitoring of ecosystem functioning in a changing climate. Here, we used high spatiotemporal resolution thermal …

An improved practical approach for estimating catchment‐scale response functions through wavelet analysis
Dwivedi, R., Eastoe, C., Knowles, J. F., Hamann, L., Meixner, T., Ferre, P.A., Castro, C., Wright, W.E., Niu, G.-Y., Minor, R., Barron-Gafford, G. A., Abramson, N., Mitra, B., Papuga, S.A., Stanley, M., Chorover, J.

Catchment‐scale response functions, such as transit time distribution (TTD) and evapotranspiration time distribution (ETTD), are considered fundamental descriptors of a catchment’s hydrologic and ecohydrologic responses to spatially and temporally varying precipitation inputs. Yet, estimating these functions is challenging, especially …

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 one of the major challenges facing model-data integration: To what spatial extent do flux measurements …

Ecosystem Carbon And Water Cycling From A Sky Island Montane Forest
Knowles, J. F., Scott, R. L., Minor, R. L., Barron-Gafford, G. A.

“Sky islands” are characteristic of sequential mountain-valley terrain where mountains form an island archipelago rising from surrounding valleys of desert “sea”. At high elevations in the Madrean sky islands of the southwestern United States (USA) and Mexico, mixed evergreen conifer forests occur near the latitudinal extent …

The Photochemical Reflectance Index (Pri) Captures The Ecohydrologic Sensitivity Of A Semiarid Mixed Conifer Forest
Yang, J. C., Magney, T. S., Yan, D., Knowles, J. F., Smith, W. K., Scott, R. L., Barron‐Gafford, G. A.

At the seasonal time scale, daily photochemical reflectance index (PRI) measurements track
changes in photoprotective pigment pools as plants respond to seasonally variable environmental
conditions. As such, remotely sensed PRI products present opportunities to study seasonal processes in evergreen conifer forests, where complex …

Montane Forest Productivity Across A Semiarid Climatic Gradient
Knowles, J. F., Scott, R. L., Biederman, J. A., Blanken, P. D., Burns, S. P., Dore, S., Kolb, T. E., Litvak, M. E., Barron‐Gafford, G. A.

High-elevation montane forests are disproportionately important to carbon sequestration
in semiarid climates where low elevations are dry and characterized by low
carbon density ecosystems. However, these ecosystems are increasingly threatened
by climate change with seasonal implications for photosynthesis and forest growth.
As …

Topography Influences Species-Specific Patterns Of Seasonal Primary Productivity In A Semiarid Montane Forest
Murphy, P. C., Knowles, J. F., Moore, D. J. P., Anchukaitis, K., Potts, D. L., Barron-Gafford, G. A.

Semiarid forests in the southwestern USA are generally restricted to mountain regions where complex terrain adds to the challenge of characterizing stand productivity. Among the heterogeneous features of these ecosystems, topography represents an important control on system-level processes including snow accumulation and melt. This …

Soil Fluid Biogeochemical Response To Climatic Events
Olshansky, Y., Knowles, J. F., Barron‐Gafford, G. A., Rasmussen, C., Abramson, N., Chorover, J.

Predicting fluid biogeochemistry in the vadose zone is difficult because of time‐dependent variation in multiple controlling factors, such as temperature, moisture, and biological activity. Furthermore, soils are multicomponent, heterogeneous porous media where manifold reactions may be affecting solution chemistry. We postulated …
