Interannual, Seasonal, And Diel Variation In Soil Respiration Relative To Ecosystem Respiration At A Wetland To Upland Slope At Harvard Forest
Phillips, S. C., Varner, R. K., Frolking, S., Munger, J. W., Bubier, J. L., Wofsy, S. C., Crill, P. M.

Soil carbon dioxide efflux (soil respiration, SR) was measured with eight autochambers at two locations along a wetland to upland slope at Harvard Forest over a 4 year period, 2003–2007. SR was consistently higher in the upland plots than at the wetland margin during the late summer/early fall. Seasonal and diel hystereses with …

Factors Controlling CO2 Exchange On Timescales From Hourly To Decadal At Harvard Forest
Urbanski, S., Barford, C., Wofsy, S., Kucharik, C., Pyle, E., Budney, J., McKain, K., Fitzjarrald, D., Czikowsky, M., Munger, J. W.

We analyzed 13 years (1992−2004) of CO2 flux data, biometry, and meteorology from a mixed deciduous forest in central Massachusetts. Annual net uptake of CO2 ranged from 1.0 to …

Atmospheric Reactive Nitrogen Concentration And Flux Budgets At A Northeastern U.S. Forest Site
Horii, C., Munger, J. W., Wofsy, S., Zahniser, M., Nelson, D., McManus, J. B.

We report concentrations of atmospheric NOx, nitric acid (HNO3), peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), and NOy; eddy covariance fluxes of NOx and NOy; inferred fluxes of HNO3 at …

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 …

Measuring Canopy Structure And The Kinematics Of Subcanopy Flows In Two Forests
Staebler, R. M., Fitzjarrald, D. R.

A better understanding of forest subcanopy flows is needed to evaluate their role in the horizontal movement of scalars, particularly in complex terrain. This paper describes detailed measurements of the canopy structure and its variability in both the horizontal …

Observing Subcanopy CO2 Advection
Staebler, R. M., Fitzjarrald, D. R.

Underestimation of nocturnal CO2 respiration under calm conditions remains an unsolved problem at many forest flux stations. In this paper, the hypothesis is tested that horizontal mean transport, not previously measured, may account for the missing CO2. A systematic methodology was developed that comprises …

Biometric And Eddy-Covariance Based Estimates Of Annual Carbon Storage In Five Eastern North American Deciduous Forests
Curtis, P. S., Hanson, P. J., Bolstad, P., Barford, C., Randolph, J., Schmid, H., Wilson, K. B.

Quantifying net carbon (C) storage by forests is a necessary step in the validation of carbon sequestration estimates and in assessing the possible role of these ecosystems in offsetting fossil fuel emissions. In eastern North America, five sites were established in deciduous …

Interannual Variation Of Soil Respiration In Two New England Forests
Savage, K. E., Davidson, E. A.

Soil respiration is an important component of the annual carbon balance of forests, but few studies have addressed interannual variation in soil respiration. The objectives of this study were to investigate the seasonal and interannual variation in soil respiration, temperature, precipitation, and soil water content in two New England …

Boundary Layer Clouds And Vegetation–Atmosphere Feedbacks
Freedman, J. M., Fitzjarrald, D. R., Moore, K. E., Sakai, R. K.

An analysis of boundary layer cumulus clouds and their impact on land surface–atmosphere exchange is presented. Seasonal trends indicate that in response to increasing insolation and sensible heat flux, both the mixed-layer height (zi) …

Net uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) measured by eddy covariance in a 60- to 80-year-old forest averaged 2.0 ± 0.4 megagrams of carbon per hectare per year during 1993 to 2000, with interannual variations exceeding 50%. Biometry indicated storage of 1.6 ± 0.4 megagrams of carbon per hectare per year over 8 years, 60% in …
