Carbon Sequestration In A High-Elevation, Subalpine Forest
Monson, R. K., Turnipseed, A. A., Sparks, J. P., Harley, P. C., Scott-Denton, L. E., Sparks, K., Huxman, T. E.

We studied net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) dynamics in a high-elevation, subalpine forest in Colorado, USA, over a two-year period. Annual carbon sequestration for the forest was 6.71 mol C m−2(80.5 g C m−2) for the year between November 1, 1998 and October 31, 1999, and 4.80 mol C m−2(57.6 g C m−2) …

Comparing The Carbon Budgets Of Boreal And Temperate Deciduous Forest Stands
Barr, A. G., Griffis, T. J., Black, T. A., Lee, X., Staebler, R. M., Fuentes, J. D., Chen, Z., Morgenstern, K.

Boreal and temperate deciduous forests at northern mid-latitudes play an important role in the global carbon cycle. We analyze 3 years (1996-1998) of eddy-covariance carbon dioxide flux measurements from two contrasting deciduous forest ecosystems in the boreal and temperate regions of central Canada. The two forest stands have similar …

Biometric And Eddy-Covariance Based Estimates Of Annual Carbon Storage In Five Eastern North American Deciduous Forests
Curtis, P. S., Hanson, P. J., Bolstad, P., Barford, C., Randolph, J., Schmid, H., Wilson, K. B.

Quantifying net carbon (C) storage by forests is a necessary step in the validation of carbon sequestration estimates and in assessing the possible role of these ecosystems in offsetting fossil fuel emissions. In eastern North America, five sites were established in deciduous …

Atmospheric Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) At A Rural Mountain Site In California
Schade, G. W., Dreyfus, G. B., Goldstein, A. H.

Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) was measured in air samples collected at hourly intervals near Blodgett Forest Research Station on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, California, in July 1997, October 1998, and June through September 1999. Mixing ratios ranged from below the detection limit (< approximately 0.01 ppbv) to …

Elevated Atmospheric CO2 Lowers Herbivore Abundance, But Increases Leaf Abscission Rates
Stiling, P., Cattell, M., Moon, D. C., Rossi, A., Hungate, B. A., Hymus, G., Drake, B.

Increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) are likely to affect the trophic relationships that exist between plants, their herbivores and the herbivores’ …

An Initial Intercomparison Of Micrometeorological And Ecological Inventory Estimates Of Carbon Exchange In A Mid-Latitude Deciduous Forest
Ehman, J. L., Schmid, H. P., Grimmond, C. S., Randolph, J. C., Hanson, P. J., Wayson, C. A., Cropley, F. D.

The role of mid-latitude forests in the sequestration of carbon (C) is of interest to an increasing number of scientists and policy-makers alike. Net CO2 exchange …

Leaf Area Dynamics Of A Boreal Black Spruce Fire Chronosequence
Bond-Lamberty, B., Wang, C., Gower, S. T., Norman, J.

Specific leaf area (SLA) and leaf area index (LAI) were estimated using site-specific allometric equations for a boreal black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) fire chronosequence in northern Manitoba, Canada. Stands ranged from 3 to 131 years in age and had soils that were categorized as well or poorly drained. The goals …

Plant Biomass And Production And CO2 Exchange In An Ombrotrophic Bog
Moore, T. R., Bubier, J. L., Frolking, S. E., Lafleur, P. M., Roulet, N. T.
  1. Above-ground biomass was measured at bog hummock, bog hollow and poor-fen sites in Mer Bleue, a large, raised ombrotrophic bog near Ottawa, Ont., Canada. The average above-ground biomass was 587 g m−2 in the bog, composed mainly of shrubs and Sphagnum capitula. In the poor fen, the …

Relationship Of Area-Averaged Carbon Dioxide And Water Vapour Fluxes To Atmospheric Variables
Mahrt, L., Vickers, D.

Area-averaged fluxes are constructed from a combination of aircraft and tower data collected during BOREAS. The averaging area includes both conifer and deciduous forests, wetlands, burned areas and bodies of water. The area-averaged water vapour flux is closely related …

Annual Ozone Deposition To A Sierra Nevada Ponderosa Pine Plantation
Kurpius, M., McKay, M., Goldstein, A.

Ozone concentration and ecosystem scale fluxes were measured continuously from June 1999 to June 2000 above a ponderosa pine plantation at Blodgett Forest, an Ameriflux site located ∼75 km northeast of Sacramento, CA (1300 m). The ponderosa pine trees were most active …
