Transpiration Of A Boreal Pine Forest Measured By Branch Bag, Sap Flow And Micrometeorological Methods
Saugier, B., Granier, A., Pontailler, J. Y., Dufrene, E., Baldocchi, D. D.

Three independent methods were used to evaluate transpiration of a boreal forest: the branch bag, sap flow and eddy covariance methods. The branch bag method encloses several thousand needles and gives a continuous record of branch transpiration. The sap flow method provides a continuous record of sap velocity and an estimate of …

Energy Balance And Canopy Conductance Of A Boreal Aspen Forest: Partitioning Overstory And Understory Components
Blanken, P. D., Black, T. A., Yang, P. C., Neumann, H. H., Nesic, Z., Staebler, R., den Hartog, G., Novak, M. D., Lee, X.

The energy balance components were measured throughout most of 1994 in and above a southern boreal aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) forest (53.629°N 106.200°W) with a hazelnut (Corylus cornuta Marsh.) understory as part of the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study. The turbulent fluxes were measured at both levels …

Growth And Maintenance Respiration Rates Of Aspen, Black Spruce And Jack Pine Stems At Northern And Southern BOREAS Sites
Lavigne, M. B., Ryan, M. G.

We measured stem respiration rates during and after the 1994 growing season of three common boreal tree species at sites near the northern and southern boundaries of the closed-canopy boreal forest in central Canada. The growth respiration coefficient (rg; carbon efflux per μmole of carbon incorporated in structural …

Seasonal Variation Of Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor, And Energy Exchanges Of A Boreal Black Spruce Forest
Jarvis, P. G., Massheder, J. M., Hale, S. E., Moncrieff, J. B., Rayment, M., Scott, S. L.

Measurements of the fluxes of latent heat λE, sensible heat H, and CO2 were made by eddy covariance in a boreal black spruce forest as part of the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) for 120 days through the growing season in 1994. BOREAS is a multiscale study in which satellite, airborne, stand-scale, …

A Physiological Basis For Biosphere-Atmosphere Interactions In The Boreal Forest: An Overview
Margolis, H. A., Ryan, M. G.
Interdisciplinary field experiments for global change research are large, intensive efforts that study the controls on fluxes of carbon, water, trace gases, and energy between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere at a range of spatial scales. Forest ecophysiology can make significant contributions to …

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 …

Vertical Gradients In Photosynthetic Gas Exchange Characteristics And Refixation Of Respired CO2 Within Boreal Forest Canopies
Brooks, J. R., Flanagan, L. B., Varney, G. T., Ehleringer, J. R.

We compared vertical gradients in leaf gas exchange, CO2 concentrations, and refixation of respired CO2 in stands of Populus tremuloides Michx., Pinus banksiana Lamb. and Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P. at the northern and southern boundaries of the central Canadian boreal forest. Midsummer …

Sap Flow In Trembling Aspen: Implications For Stomatal Responses To Vapor Pressure Deficit
Hogg, E. H., Hurdle, P. A.

We monitored sap flow and estimated diurnal changes in transpiration rates of two trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) stands, located in the southern boreal forest and aspen parkland of Saskatchewan, Canada. In both stands during the peak growing season (June and July), sap flow during the day (0700–1700 h local …

Seasonal Variation In Radiative And Turbulent Exchange At A Deciduous Forest In Central Massachusetts
Moore, K. E., Fitzjarrald, D. R., Sakai, R. K., Goulden, M. L., Munger, J. W., Wofsy, S. C.

Temperate deciduous forests exhibit dramatic seasonal changes in surface exchange properties following on the seasonal changes in leaf area index. Nearly continuous measurements of turbulent and radiative fluxes above and below the canopy of a red oak forest in central Massachusetts have been ongoing since the summer of 1991. Several …

Goulden, M. L., Munger, J. W., Fan, S., Daube, B. C., Wofsy, S. C.

The turbulent exchanges of CO2 and water vapour between an aggrading deciduous forest in the north-eastern United States (Harvard Forest) and the atmosphere were measured from 1990 to 1994 using the eddy covariance technique. We present a detailed description of the methods used and a rigorous evaluation of the precision …
