Automated Measurements Of CO2 Exchange At The Moss Surface Of A Black Spruce Forest
Goulden, M. L., Crill, P. M.

We used an automated, multiplexing gas-exchange system to measure the net exchange of CO2 at the surfaces of three shady feather moss and three exposed sphagnum moss sites in a black spruce forest during 35 days at the end of the 1995 growing season. Midday gross photosynthesis was 0.5 to 1.0 μmol m−2 s−1

Carbon Distribution And Aboveground Net Primary Production In Aspen, Jack Pine, And Black Spruce Stands In Saskatchewan And Manitoba, Canada
Gower, S. T., Vogel, J. G., Norman, J. M., Kucharik, C. J., Steele, S. J., Stow, T. K.

The objectives of this study are to (1) characterize the carbon (C) content, leaf area index, and aboveground net primary production (ANPP) for mature aspen, black spruce, and young and mature jack pine stands at the southern and northern Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) areas and (2) compare net primary production and …

Simulating Forest Productivity And Surface-Atmosphere Carbon Exchange In The BOREAS Study Region
Kimball, J. S., Thornton, P. E., White, M. A., Running, S. W.

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 pine and black spruce stands. Model simulations of daily net carbon exchange of the ecosystem (NEE) explained …

Controls Over Monoterpene Emissions From Boreal Forest Conifers
Lerdau, M., Litvak, M., Palmer, P., Monson, R.

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 in plants as carbon-based defensive compounds and in the atmosphere as photochemically reactive compounds …

Physiological Responses Of A Black Spruce Forest To Weather
Goulden, M. L., Daube, B. C., Fan, S., Sutton, D. J., Bazzaz, A., Munger, J. W., Wofsy, S. C.

We used eddy covariance to measure the net exchange of CO2 between the atmosphere and a black spruce (Picea mariana) forest in Manitoba for 16,500 hours from March 16, 1994 to October 31, 1996. We then partitioned net exchange into gross photosynthesis and respiration by estimating daytime respiration as a function …

Environmental Controls Over Isoprene Emission In Deciduous Oak Canopies
Harley, P., Guenther, A., Zimmerman, P.

In summer 1992, isoprene emission was measured on intact leaves and branches of Quercus alba (L.) at two heights in a forest canopy. Isoprene emission capacity (measured at 30 °C and a photosynthetic photon flux density of 1000 μmol m−2 s−1) was significantly higher in sun leaves than in shade …

Root Mass, Net Primary Production And Turnover In Aspen, Jack Pine And Black Spruce Forests In Saskatchewan And Manitoba, Canada
Steele, S. J., Gower, S. T., Vogel, J. G., Norman, J. M.

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 Prince Albert, Saskatchewan is warmer and drier in the summer and milder in the winter than the Northern Study Area (NSA) near Thompson, Manitoba, …

A Lagrangian Dispersion Model For Predicting CO2 Sources, Sinks, And Fluxes In A Uniform Loblolly Pine (Pinus Taeda L.) Stand
Katul, G., Oren, R., Ellsworth, D., Hsieh, C., Phillips, N., Lewin, K.

A canopy Lagrangian turbulent scalar transport model for predicting scalar fluxes, sources, and sinks within a forested canopy was tested using CO2 concentration and flux measurements. The model formulation is based on the localized near-field theory (LNF) proposed by Raupach [1989a, b]. Using the measured mean …

Intra- And Inter-Specific Variation In Canopy Photosynthesis In A Mixed Deciduous Forest
Bassow, S. L., Bazzaz, F. A.

Within the same forest, photosynthesis can vary greatly among species and within an individual tree. Quantifying the magnitude of variation in leaf-level photosynthesis in a forest canopy will improve our understanding of and ability to model forest carbon cycling. This information requires extensive sampling of photosynthesis in …

Regulation Of Branch-Level Gas Exchange Of Boreal Trees: Roles Of Shoot Water Potential And Vapor Pressure Difference
Dang, Q., Margolis, H. A., Coyea, M. R., Sy, M., Collatz, G. J.

Effects of shoot water potential (Ψ) and leaf-to-atmosphere vapor pressure difference (VPD) on gas exchange of jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.), black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.), and aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) were investigated at the northern edge of the boreal forest in Manitoba, …
