The usefulness of eddy covariance for understanding terrestrial carbon exchange has been hampered by uncertainty over the magnitude and causes of a systematic underestimation of CO2 efflux on calm nights…. More
The perturbation timescale-dependences of the CO2 flux and the random flux sampling error are evaluated from eddy-covariance tower observations in the mid-day convective boundary layer over mid-latitude conifer forests. The… More
Acetone and methanol have been measured hourly at a rural mountain site in California for a full year, providing a unique data set for analyzing the factors controlling their seasonal… More
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… More
Humans have altered the global and regional cycles of nitrogen more than any other element. Alteration of N cycling patterns and processes in forests is one potentially negative outcome of… More
An understanding of the effect of fertility management on soil surface fluxes of CO2, N2O, and CH4 is essential in evaluating C sequestration measures that attempt to increase the amount… More
Energy budgets were measured at Arctic tundra ecosystems in Alaska, USA. Measurements were carried out over coastal tundra at Prudhoe Bay in 1994, and at wet sedge, moist and dry… More
Hourly observations of forest-atmosphere energy balance components are presented for the Morgan-Monroe State Forest, south-central Indiana, USA for the period March 1998 to December 2001, with particular emphasis on the… More
In this paper, a model is presented for scalar advection inside canopies. A key result is an advection/diffusion equation that captures the persistence effect of the diffusion plume from elevated… More
