Modeling Soil And Biomass Carbon Responses To Declining Water Table In A Wetland-Rich Landscape
Sulman, B. N., Desai, A. R., Mladenoff, D. J.

Peatlands and forested wetlands can cover a large fraction of the land area and contain a majority of the regional carbon pool in wet northern temperate landscapes. We used the LANDIS-II forest landscape succession model coupled with a model of plant community …

Quantification Of Upland Thermokarst Features With High Resolution Remote Sensing
Belshe, E. F., Schuur, E. A., Grosse, G.

Climate-induced changes to permafrost are altering high latitude landscapes in ways that could increase the vulnerability of the vast soil carbon pools of the region. Permafrost thaw is temporally dynamic and spatially heterogeneous because, in addition to the thickening of the active …

Moisture Drives Surface Decomposition In Thawing Tundra
Hicks Pries, C. E., Schuur, E. A., Vogel, J. G., Natali, S. M.

Permafrost thaw can affect decomposition rates by changing environmental conditions and litter quality. As permafrost thaws, soils warm and thermokarst (ground subsidence) features form, causing some areas to become wetter while other areas become drier. We used a common substrate to measure how permafrost thaw affects decomposition …

Coarse Root Distribution Of A Semi-Arid Oak Savanna Estimated With Ground Penetrating Radar
Raz-Yaseef, N., Koteen, L., Baldocchi, D. D.

The binary nature of Northern California’s ecohydrology, in which water is either abundantly available or scarce, should be reflected in the root architecture of the native blue oak. Our objective was to quantify carbon storage and understand how the form of the root system facilitates ecosystem functioning despite the asynchrony …

A Data-Driven Analysis Of Energy Balance Closure Across FLUXNET Research Sites: The Role Of Landscape Scale Heterogeneity
Stoy, P. C., Mauder, M., Foken, T., Marcolla, B., Boegh, E., Ibrom, A., Arain, M. A., Arneth, A., Aurela, M., Bernhofer, C., Cescatti, A., Dellwik, E., Duce, P., Gianelle, D., van Gorsel, E., Kiely, G., Knohl, A., Margolis, H., McCaughey, H., Merbold, L., Montagnani, L., Papale, D., Reichstein, M., Saunders, M., Serrano-Ortiz, P., Sottocornola, M., Spano, D., Vaccari, F., Varlagin, A.

The energy balance at most surface-atmosphere flux research sites remains unclosed. The mechanisms underlying the discrepancy between measured energy inputs and outputs across the global FLUXNET tower network are still under debate. Recent reviews have identified …

From Set-Aside Grassland To Annual And Perennial Cellulosic Biofuel Crops: Effects Of Land Use Change On Carbon Balance
Zenone, T., Gelfand, I., Chen, J., Hamilton, S. K., Robertson, G. P.

Increasing demand for agricultural commodities such as grain for feed and feedstocks for biofuels are driving rapid land use change. We studied the effect of agricultural land-use change on two historical land use types for three different cropping systems using …

Modeling Light Use Efficiency In A Subtropical Mangrove Forest Equipped With Co2 Eddy Covariance
Barr, J. G., Engel, V., Fuentes, J. D., Fuller, D. O., Kwon, H.

Despite the importance of mangrove ecosystems in the global carbon budget, the relationships between environmental drivers and carbon dynamics in these forests remain poorly understood. This limited understanding is partly a result of the challenges associated with in situ flux studies. Tower-based CO2 eddy covariance …

Net Co2 Exchange And Carbon Budgets Of A Three-Year Crop Rotation Following Conversion Of Perennial Lands To Annual Cropping In Manitoba, Canada
Taylor, A. M., Amiro, B. D., Fraser, T. J.

Eddy covariance flux towers were used to measure net ecosystem production over three adjacent agricultural fields in Manitoba, Canada, from 2009 to 2011. Two fields were converted from long-term perennial hay/pasture to annual cropping, while the third field served as a control field that was maintained as hay/pasture. One converted …

Seasonal Changes In Camera-Based Indices From An Open Canopy Black Spruce Forest In Alaska, And Comparison With Indices From A Closed Canopy Evergreen Coniferous Forest In Japan
Nagai, S., Nakai, T., Saitoh, T. M., Busey, R. C., Kobayashi, H., Suzuki, R., Muraoka, H., Kim, Y.

Evaluation of the carbon, water, and energy balances in evergreen coniferous forests requires accurate in situ and satellite data regarding their spatio-temporal dynamics. Daily digital camera images can be used to determine the relationships among phenology, gross primary productivity (GPP), and meteorological parameters, and to …
