Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of post-fire stand age on the boreal forest energy balance
B. D. Amiro,B. D. Amiro,Alberto L. Orchansky,Alan G. Barr,T. A. Black,Scott D. Chambers,F. S. Chapin,Michael L. Goulden,Marcy E. Litvak,Heping Liu,J.H. McCaughey,Andrew M. S. McMillan,James T. Randerson +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize energy balance measures from 22 sites in Alaska, Saskatchewan and Manitoba collected between 1998 and 2004 for a 150-year boreal forest chronosequence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of carbon dynamics and water use efficiency following fire and harvesting in Canadian boreal forests
M.S. Mkhabela,Brian D. Amiro,Alan G. Barr,T. A. Black,Iain Hawthorne,J. Kidston,J.H. McCaughey,Alberto L. Orchansky,Zoran Nesic,A. Sass,A. Shashkov,Tianshan Zha +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the eddy covariance method was used to compare ecosystem fluxes of carbon dioxide between harvested and burned boreal forest sites in Saskatchewan, Canada, and found that the burned sites had the strongest response of GEP to photosynthetically active radiation, and the strongest responses of Re to soil temperature at the 2-cm depth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photosynthetic light use efficiency of three biomes across an east–west continental-scale transect in Canada
Christopher R. Schwalm,T. Andrew Black,Brian D. Amiro,M. Altaf Arain,Alan G. Barr,Charles P.-A. Bourque,Allison L. Dunn,Lawrence B. Flanagan,Marc-André Giasson,Peter M. Lafleur,Hank A. Margolis,J. Harry McCaughey,Alberto L. Orchansky,S. C. Wofsy +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between daily and yearly LUE, driving variables, and site characteristics on a site-specific and plant functional type (PFT) basis using tree regression and linear regression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late-summer carbon fluxes from Canadian forests and peatlands along an east-west continental transect
Carole Coursolle,Hank A. Margolis,Alan G. Barr,T. Andrew Black,Brian D. Amiro,J. Harry McCaughey,Lawrence B. Flanagan,Peter M. Lafleur,Nigel T. Roulet,Charles P.-A. Bourque,M. Altaf Arain,Steven C. Wofsy,Allison L. Dunn,Kai Morgenstern,Alberto L. Orchansky,Pierre Y. Bernier,Jing M. Chen,J. Kidston,Nobuko Saigusa,N. R. Hedstrom +19 more
TL;DR: The intermediate-aged conifer sites had the highest maximum NEP (NEPmax) and gross ecosystem productivity (GEPmax), attaining rates that would beconsidered tent with the presence of a strong terrestrial C sink in regions where these types of forest are common.
