Influences Of Biomass Heat And Biochemical Energy Storages On The Land Surface Fluxes And Radiative Temperature
Gu, L., Meyers, T., Pallardy, S. G., Hanson, P. J., Yang, B., Heuer, M., Hosman, K. P., Liu, Q., Riggs, J. S., Sluss, D., Wullschleger, S. D.

The interest of this study was to develop an initial assessment on the potential importance of biomass heat and biochemical energy storages for land-atmosphere interactions, an issue that has been largely neglected so far. We conducted flux tower observations and model simulations at a temperate deciduous forest site in central Missouri …

Canopy Leaf Area Constrains [Co2]-Induced Enhancement Of Productivity And Partitioning Among Aboveground Carbon Pools
McCarthy, H. R., Oren, R., Finzi, A. C., Johnsen, K. H.

Net primary productivity (NPP) is enhanced under future atmospheric [CO2] in temperate forests representing a broad range of productivity. Yet questions remain in regard to how elevated [CO2]-induced NPP enhancement may be affected by climatic variations and limiting nutrient resources, as well as how this additional …

Comparison Of Ecosystem Water-Use Efficiency Among Douglas-Fir Forest, Aspen Forest And Grassland Using Eddy Covariance And Carbon Isotope Techniques
Ponton, S., Flanagan, L. B., Alstad, K. P., Johnson, B. G., Morgenstern, K., Kljun, N., Black, T. A., Barr, A. G.

Comparisons were made among Douglas-fir forest, aspen (broad leaf deciduous) forest and wheatgrass (C3) grassland for ecosystem-level water-use efficiency (WUE). WUE was defined as the ratio of photosynthetic CO2 assimilation rate and evapotranspiration (ET) rate. The ET data measured by eddy covariance were …

Carbon Dioxide Fluxes In Coastal Douglas-Fir Stands At Different Stages Of Development After Clearcut Harvesting
Humphreys, E. R., Black, T. A., Morgenstern, K., Cai, T., Drewitt, G. B., Nesic, Z., Trofymow, J.

Forests play a significant role in the global carbon (C) cycle. Variability in weather, species, stand age, and current and past disturbances are some of the factors that control stand-level C dynamics. This study examines the relative roles of stand age and associated structural …

Woody Debris Contribution To The Carbon Budget Of Selectively Logged And Maturing Mid-Latitude Forests
Liu, W. H., Bryant, D. M., Hutyra, L. R., Saleska, S. R., Hammond-Pyle, E., Curran, D., Wofsy, S. C.

Woody debris (WD) is an important component of forest C budgets, both as a C reservoir and source of CO2 to the atmosphere. We used an infrared gas analyzer and closed dynamic chamber to measure CO2 efflux from downed coarse WD (CWD; diameter≥7.5 cm) and fine WD (FWD; 7.5 cm>diameter≥2 cm) to assess …

Vertical Partitioning Of CO2 Production Within A Temperate Forest Soil
Davidson, E. A., Savage, K. E., Trumbore, S. E., Borken, W.

The major driving factors of soil CO2 production – substrate supply, temperature, and water content – vary vertically within the soil profile, with the greatest …

Characteristics Of Fine Particle Growth Events Observed Above A Forested Ecosystem In The Sierra Nevada Mountains Of California
Lunden, M. M., Black, D. R., McKay, M., Revzan, K. L., Goldstein, A. H., Brown, N. J.

Atmospheric aerosols from natural and anthropogenic processes have both primary and secondary origins, and can influence human health, visibility, and climate. One key process affecting atmospheric concentrations of aerosols is the formation of new particles and their subsequent growth to larger particle sizes. A field study was …

Influences Of Canopy Photosynthesis And Summer Rain Pulses On Root Dynamics And Soil Respiration In A Young Ponderosa Pine Forest
Misson, L., Gershenson, A., Tang, J., McKay, M., Cheng, W., Goldstein, A.
Our first objective was to link the seasonality of fine root dynamics with soil respiration in a ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa P. & C. Lawson) plantation located in the Sierra Nevada of California. The second objective was to examine how canopy photosynthesis influences fine root initiation, …

Relationships Among Canopy Scale Energy Fluxes And Isoprene Flux Derived From Long-Term, Seasonal Eddy Covariance Measurements Over A Hardwood Forest
Pressley, S., Lamb, B., Westberg, H., Vogel, C.

The flux of isoprene, one of the more reactive biogenic volatile organic compounds, was measured using eddy covariance techniques on a continuous basis during the 2000–2002 growing seasons at a mixed hardwood forest in northern lower MI. Daytime fluxes of isoprene and both sensible (H) and latent heat flux (LE) were linearly …
