Journal ArticleDOI
Annual cycles of water vapour and carbon dioxide fluxes in and above a boreal aspen forest
T. A. Black,Gerry den Hartog,H. H. Neumann,Peter D. Blanken,P. C. Yang,C. Russell,Zoran Nesic,Xuhui Lee,S. G. Chen,Ralf M. Staebler,M. D. Novak +10 more
TL;DR: Water vapour and CO2 fluxes were measured using the eddy correlation method above and below the overstorey of a 21m tall aspen stand in the boreal forest of central Saskatchewan as part of the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy balance and canopy conductance of a boreal aspen forest: Partitioning overstory and understory components
Peter D. Blanken,T. A. Black,P. C. Yang,H. H. Neumann,Zoran Nesic,Ralf M. Staebler,G. Den Hartog,M. D. Novak,Xuhui Lee +8 more
TL;DR: The energy balance components were measured throughout most of 1994 in and above a southern boreal aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) forest (53.629°N 106.200°W) with a hazelnut (Corylus cornuta Marsh.) understory as part of the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between soil CO2 concentrations and forest-floor CO2 effluxes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared seasonal and diurnal variations in simultaneously measured forest-floor CO 2 effluxes and soil CO 2 concentration profiles in a 54-year-old Douglas fir forest on the east coast of Vancouver Island.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of climatic variability on the annual carbon sequestration by a boreal aspen forest
Wenjun Chen,T. A. Black,P. C. Yang,Alan G. Barr,H. H. Neumann,Zoran Nesic,Peter D. Blanken,M. D. Novak,J. Eley,Rick Ketler,Richard H. Cuenca +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured CO2 fluxes using the eddy covariance technique above an old aspen (OA) forest in Prince Albert National Park, Saskatchewan, Canada, in 1994 and 1996 as part of the Boreal EcosystemAtmosphere Study (BOREAS).
Journal ArticleDOI
A model of the production and transport of CO2 in soil: predicting soil CO2 concentrations and CO2 efflux from a forest floor
TL;DR: In this paper, a process-based model of the transport of heat and water in the soil and surface energy balance components is extended to include production of CO2 from heterotrophic (microbial decomposition) and autotrophic respiration, and transport of the resulting CO2 in both the gaseous and liquid phases.
