Effects Of Variable Retention Harvesting On Canopy Transpiration In A Red Pine Plantation Forest
Bodo, A. V., Arain, M. A.

Variable Retention Harvesting (VRH) is a forest management practice applied to enhance forest growth, improve biodiversity, preserve ecosystem function and provide economic revenue from harvested timber. There are many different forms and compositions in which VRH is applied in forest ecosystems. In this study, the impacts of four …

Response Of Soil Co2 Efflux To Shelterwood Harvesting In A Mature Temperate Pine Forest
Thorne, R., Khomik, M., Hayman, E., Arain, A.

In forest ecosystems, soil CO2 efflux is an important component of ecosystem respiration (RE), which is generally driven by variability in soil temperature and soil moisture. Tree harvesting in forests can alter the soil variables, and consequently impact soil CO2 efflux. This study investigated the response of total soil CO2 efflux, …

Does day and night sampling reduce spurious correlation between canopy photosynthesis and ecosystem respiration?
Dennis Baldocchi, Cove Sturtevant

It is necessary to partition eddy covariance measurements of carbon dioxide exchange into its offsetting gross fluxes, canopy photosynthesis, and ecosystem respiration, to understand the biophysical controls on the net fluxes. And independent estimates of canopy photosynthesis (G) and ecosystem respiration (R) are needed to validate …
