Invasive Insects Impact Forest Carbon Dynamics
Clark, K. L., Skowronski, N., Hom, J.

Invasive insects can impact ecosystem functioning by altering carbon, nutrient, and hydrologic cycles. In this study, we used eddy covariance to measure net CO2 exchange with the atmosphere (NEE), and biometric measurements to characterize net ecosystem productivity (NEP) in oak- and pine-dominated forests that were defoliated …

Controls On Mangrove Forest-Atmosphere Carbon Dioxide Exchanges In Western Everglades National Park
Barr, J. G., Engel, V., Fuentes, J. D., Zieman, J. C., O'Halloran, T. L., Smith, T. J., Anderson, G. H.

We report on net ecosystem production (NEP) and key environmental controls on net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of carbon dioxide (CO2) between a mangrove forest and the atmosphere in the coastal Florida Everglades. An eddy covariance system deployed above the canopy was used to determine NEE during January 2004 through August …

Carbon And Water Fluxes From Ponderosa Pine Forests Disturbed By Wildfire And Thinning
Dore, S., Kolb, T. E., Montes-Helu, M., Eckert, S. E., Sullivan, B. W., Hungate, B. A., Kaye, J. P., Hart, S. C., Koch, G. W., Finkral, A.

Disturbances alter ecosystem carbon dynamics, often by reducing carbon uptake and stocks. We compared the impact of two types of disturbances that represent the most likely future conditions of currently …

Soil CO2 Production In Upland Tundra Where Permafrost Is Thawing
Lee, H., Schuur, E. A. G., Vogel, J. G.

Permafrost soils store nearly half of global soil carbon (C), and therefore permafrost thawing could lead to large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions via decomposition of soil organic matter. When ice-rich permafrost thaws, it creates a localized surface subsidence called thermokarst terrain, which changes the soil microenvironment. …

Measurements Necessary For Assessing The Net Ecosystem Carbon Budget Of Croplands
Smith, P., Lanigan, G., Kutsch, W. L., Buchmann, N., Eugster, W., Aubinet, M., Ceschia, E., Béziat, P., Yeluripati, J. B., Osborne, B., Moors, E. J., Brut, A., Wattenbach, M., Saunders, M., Jones, M.

There are a number of methods that can be used to help assess carbon budgets at the site to continental scales. Eddy covariance (EC) networks have been developed over the last decade and have been used to make many advances in our understanding. However, eddy covariance …

Hydraulic Redistribution Of Soil Water By Roots Affects Whole-Stand Evapotranspiration And Net Ecosystem Carbon Exchange
Domec, J., King, J. S., Noormets, A., Treasure, E., Gavazzi, M. J., Sun, G., McNulty, S. G.
  • Hydraulic redistribution (HR) of water via roots from moist to drier portions of the soil occurs in many ecosystems, potentially influencing both water use and carbon assimilation.
  • By measuring soil water content, sap flow and eddy covariance, we investigated the temporal variability of …

Plant Community, Primary Productivity, And Environmental Conditions Following Wetland Re-Establishment In The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California
Miller, R. L., Fujii, R.

Wetland restoration can mitigate aerobic decomposition of subsided organic soils, as well as re-establish conditions favorable for carbon storage. Rates of carbon storage result from the balance of inputs and losses, both of which are affected by wetland …

Using Watershed Water Balance To Evaluate The Accuracy Of Eddy Covariance Evaporation Measurements For Three Semiarid Ecosystems
Scott, R. L.

The eddy covariance technique is a widely used and accepted method to quantify ecosystem-scale mass and energy fluxes. Eddy covariance measurements of evaporation, also known as evapotranspiration, are used to determine local, regional and global water budgets, calibrate …

Relative Contributions Of Soil, Foliar, And Woody Tissue Respiration To Total Ecosystem Respiration In Four Pine Forests Of Different Ages
Khomik, M., Arain, A.M., Brodeur, J.J., Peichl, M., Restrepo-Coupé, N., McLaren, J.D.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from soil, foliage, and live woody tissue were measured throughout the year in afforested, white pine (Pinus strobus L.) stands (67, 32, 17, and 4 years old as of 2006), growing in a northern temperate climate. The data were used to estimate annual ecosystem respiration (Re) …

Ecosystem Carbon Dioxide Fluxes After Disturbance In Forests Of North America
Amiro, B. D., Barr, A. G., Barr, J. G., Black, T. A., Bracho, R., Brown, M., Chen, J., Clark, K. L., Davis, K. J., Desai, A. R., Dore, S., Engel, V., Fuentes, J. D., Goldstein, A. H., Goulden, M. L., Kolb, T. E., Lavigne, M. B., Law, B. E., Margolis, H. A., Martin, T., McCaughey, J. H., Misson, L., Montes-Helu, M., Noormets, A., Randerson, J. T., Starr, G., Xiao, J.

Disturbances are important for renewal of North American forests. Here we summarize more than 180 site years of eddy covariance measurements of carbon dioxide flux made at forest chronosequences in North America. The disturbances included stand-replacing fire (Alaska, Arizona, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan) and harvest (British Columbia, …
