Spatial And Temporal Variation In The Carbon And Oxygen Stable Isotope Ratio Of Respired CO2 In A Boreal Forest Ecosystem
Flanagan, L. B., Kubien, D. S., Ehleringer, J. R.

We measured the stable isotope ratio of respired carbon dioxide at two spatial scales in a black spruce forest in northern Canada: CO2 released from the forest floor and CO2 released from the entire ecosystem at night. Despite wide variation in the δ13C values of organic matter among above-ground plant species, …

Boreas Flight Measurements Of Forest-Fire Effects On Carbon Dioxide And Energy Fluxes
Amiro, B., MacPherson, J. I., Desjardins, R. L.

Fire is the dominant stand-replacing agent in the Canadian boreal forest, but few quantitative measurements are available on the micrometeorological effects of fire. Airborne flux measurements during the BOREAS experiment were referenced to age of burn along a 500-km transect …

Measurements Of PAR Transmittance Within Boreal Forest Stands During BOREAS
Roujean, J.

This paper shows the results of solar flux measurements routinely collected within boreal conifer forests during BOREAS 1994. Such vegetation have open canopies with a high level of clumping and covered by crowns which yields strong directional effects on the spectral hemispherical …

Influence Of Biotic Exchange And Combustion Sources On Atmospheric CO2 Concentrations In New England From Observations At A Forest Flux Tower
Potosnak, M. J., Wofsy, S. C., Denning, A. S., Conway, T. J., Munger, J. W., Barnes, D. H.

Hourly data for concentrations and fluxes of CO2 at 30 m in Harvard Forest (Petersham, Massachusetts) are analyzed using linear modeling to obtain regionally representative CO2 concentrations …

In Situ Measurements Of C2 -C10 Volatile Organic Compounds Above A Sierra Nevada Ponderosa Pine Plantation
Lamanna, M. S., Goldstein, A. H.

A fully automated gas chromatograph-flame ionization detector system was designed and built to measure ambient concentrations of C2-C10 volatile organic compounds, including many oxygenated compounds, without using liquid cryogen. It was deployed at Blodgett Forest Research Station in Georgetown, California, …

An Approach To Spatially Distributed Modeling Of Net Primary Production (NPP) At The Landscape Scale And Its Application In Validation Of EOS NPP Products
Reich, P. B., Turner, D. P., Bolstad, P.

Substantial research seeks to improve estimates of ecosystem processes and fluxes at a range of scales, notably from the stand scale (<1 km2) using ecosystem physiology and eddy covariance techniques, to the landscape (∼102 km2) and …

Effects Of Climatic Variability On The Annual Carbon Sequestration By A Boreal Aspen Forest
Chen, W. J., Black, T. A., Yang, P. C., Barr, A. G., Neumann, H. H., Nesic, Z., Blanken, P. D., Novak, M. D., Eley, J., Ketler, R. J., Cuenca, R.

To evaluate the carbon budget of a boreal deciduous forest, we measured CO2 fluxes using the eddy covariance technique above an old aspen (OA) forest in Prince Albert National Park, Saskatchewan, Canada, in 1994 and 1996 as part of the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS). We found that the OA forest is a strong …

Interacting Influence Of Mycorrhizal Symbiosis And Competition On Plant Diversity In Tallgrass Prairie
Smith, M. D., Hartnett, D. C., Wilson, G. W.

In tallgrass prairie, plant species interactions regulated by their associated mycorrhizal fungi may be important forces that influence species coexistence and community structure; however, the mechanisms and magnitude of these interactions remain unknown. The objective of this study was to determine how interspecific competition, …

Seasonal Patterns And Environmental Control Of Carbon Dioxide And Water Vapour Exchange In An Ecotonal Boreal Forest
Hollinger, D. Y., Goltz, S. M., Davidson, E. A., Lee, J. T., Tu, K., Valentine, H. T.

Carbon dioxide, water vapour, and sensible heat fluxes were measured above and within a spruce dominated forest near the southern ecotone of the boreal forest in Maine, USA. Summer, mid-day carbon dioxide uptake was higher than at other boreal coniferous forests, averaging about – 13 μmol CO2 m–2 s–1. …

Effects Of CO2 Enrichment On The Photosynthetic Light Response Of Sun And Shade Leaves Of Canopy Sweetgum Trees (Liquidambar Styraciflua) In A Forest Ecosystem
Herrick, J. D., Thomas, R. B.

To investigate whether sun and shade leaves respond differently to CO2 enrichment, we examined photosynthetic light response of sun and shade leaves in canopy sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua L.) trees growing at ambient and elevated (ambient + 200 μl l−1) atmospheric CO2 in the Brookhaven …
