TLDR
The Weidenbrunnen site in the Lehstenbach catchment was selected as a EURO-FLUX site (Valentini et al. 2000) and was also used in the following CARBOEUROFLUX program for systematic investigations with respect to the data quality of turbulent fluxes.Abstract:
The investigation of carbon fluxes is of immense interest in ecosystem and climate research. Forest ecosystems may be a sink for anthropogenic carbon, if the assimilation is larger than the respiration. Alternatively, increasing temperatures due to climate change (IPCC 2001) may be a reason for increasing respiratory fluxes. While low-altitude spruce sites in Germany are significant carbon sinks (e.g. Bernhofer et al. 2003), sites above 600 m a.s.l. are only small sinks or may change their character by climate change. Therefore the Weidenbrunnen site in the Lehstenbach catchment was selected as a EUROFLUX site (Valentini et al. 2000) and was also used in the following CARBOEUROFLUX program for systematic investigations with respect to the data quality of turbulent fluxes. Overviews of the European carbon program and of the worldwide FLUXNET program are respectively given by Valentini (2003) and Baldocchi et al. (2001). All relevant references are also provided herein. Furthermore, the site was used for process studies to separate assimilation and respiration fluxes, and to study the exchange conditions between the forest and the atmosphere (Wichura et al., this Vol.). All of these studies were part of the ecosystem research of the Lehstenbach catchment, the main research area of the Bayreuth Institute of Terrestrial Ecosystem Research (BITOK). The main results for the carbon dioxide flux measurements since 1997 are discussed in this chapter.read more

An Analysis of Soil Respiration across Northern Hemisphere Temperate Ecosystems
TL;DR: In this article, soil respiration (Rs) data were assembled from 31 AmeriFlux and CarboEurope sites representing deciduous broadleaf, evergreen needleleaf, grasslands, mixeddeciduous/evergreen and woodland/savanna ecosystem types, showing that simple empirical relationships with temperature and/or moisture that may be robust at individual sites may not be adequate to characterize soil CO2 effluxes across space and time.

A combination of quality assessment tools for eddy covariance measurements with footprint modelling for the characterisation of complex sites
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of surface heterogeneity to permit a correct interpretation of the measurement results has been evaluated, and the results are presented as two-dimensional graphs, which show the spatial distribution of the quality of different fluxes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed quality tests to check if the basic theoretical assumptions for the eddy covariance method are valid under many conditions, such as stationarity of flow, homogeneity of the surface and fully developed turbulence of the flow field.

Forest and agricultural land‐use‐dependent CO2 exchange in Thuringia, Germany
P. M. Anthoni,Alexander Knohl,Corinna Rebmann,Annette Freibauer,M. Mund,Waldemar Ziegler,Olaf Kolle,Ernst Detlef Schulze +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the net CO2 exchange (NEE) over ecosystems differing in land use (forest and agriculture) in Thuringia, Germany, and found that large contrasts were found in NEE rates between the land uses of the ecosystems.
