Discrepancies in closure of the surface energy balance is often an issue for many land surface types. The role of canopy storage terms from canopy water content and photosynthesis is… More
The binary nature of Northern California’s ecohydrology, in which water is either abundantly available or scarce, should be reflected in the root architecture of the native blue oak. Our objective… More
Ground-based measurements of stores, growth, mortality, litterfall, respiration, and decomposition were conducted in an old-growth forest at Wind River Experimental Forest, Washington, USA. These measurements were used to estimate gross… More
Soil CO2 efflux is a major component of net ecosystem productivity (NEP) of forest systems. Combining data from multiple researchers for larger-scale modeling and assessment will only be valid if… More
We describe a simple method for sampling soil gas at different profile depths and analyzing CO2 concentration in the gas sample. Soil gas samples were taken on the soil surface… More
Continuous measurements of carbon flux from 1997 to 2002 by eddy-covariance were used to evaluate the carbon budget for a maize (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.)… More
We characterized vertical variation in the seasonal release of stored soil moisture in old-growth ponderosa pine (OG-PP, xeric), and young and old-growth Douglas-fir (Y-DF, OG-DF, mesic) forests to evaluate changes… More
The severity and spatial extent of the health impact of anthropogenic mercury (Hg) emission to the atmosphere depend on the emission rate and chemical form of the emitted species. The… More
Mixing ratios of CO2 often change abruptly in the presence of inclement weather and low pressure systems. Water vapor mixing ratio, temperature, wind speed, and wind direction data are used… More
