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 …

Water And Carbon Dioxide Exchange At A Boreal Young Jack Pine Forest In The BOREAS Northern Study Area
Joiner, D. W., McCaughey, J. H., Lafleur, P. M., Bartlett, P. A.

Climatological measurements, including carbon dioxide flux density, were made from May to September 1994 and from May to November 1996 at a young jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) forest near Thompson, …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Regulation Of Branch-Level Gas Exchange Of Boreal Trees: Roles Of Shoot Water Potential And Vapor Pressure Difference
Dang, Q., Margolis, H. A., Coyea, M. R., Sy, M., Collatz, G. J.

Effects of shoot water potential (Ψ) and leaf-to-atmosphere vapor pressure difference (VPD) on gas exchange of jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.), black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.), and aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) were investigated at the northern edge of the boreal forest in Manitoba, …

Root Mass, Net Primary Production And Turnover In Aspen, Jack Pine And Black Spruce Forests In Saskatchewan And Manitoba, Canada
Steele, S. J., Gower, S. T., Vogel, J. G., Norman, J. M.

Root biomass, net primary production and turnover were studied in aspen, jack pine and black spruce forests in two contrasting climates. The climate of the Southern Study Area (SSA) near Prince Albert, Saskatchewan is warmer and drier in the summer and milder in the winter than the Northern Study Area (NSA) near Thompson, Manitoba, …

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 …

Simulating Forest Productivity And Surface-Atmosphere Carbon Exchange In The BOREAS Study Region
Kimball, J. S., Thornton, P. E., White, M. A., Running, S. W.

A process-based, general ecosystem model (BIOME–BGC) was used to simulate daily gross primary production, maintenance and heterotrophic respiration, net primary production and net ecosystem carbon exchange of boreal aspen, jack pine and black spruce stands. Model simulations of daily net carbon exchange of the ecosystem (NEE) explained …
