Accurate estimations of leaf biomass are required to quantify the amount of material and energy exchanged between vegetation and the atmosphere, to enhance the primary …
Natural disturbances (windthrow, bark beetle, and fire) have reduced forest cover in the Tatra National Park (Slovakia) by 50% since the year 2004. We analyzed carbon fluxes and …
Vegetation controls carbon and water fluxes because of the fundamental tradeoff between carbon dioxide uptake and water loss occurring when stomata are open. Quantifying the …
The total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017 created a path of totality~ 115 km in width across the United States. While eclipse observations have shown distinct responses in animal …
Sagebrush ecosystems consist of different communities of species and subspecies of sagebrush marked by distinct ecotones along elevation gradients, yet few studies have …

Fluxes of carbon and water along a vertical profile within a canopy, particularly the associations between canopy and ecosystem levels, are not well studied. In this study, gas …
Gross primary production (GPP) is one of the most critical processes in the global carbon cycle, but is difficult to 10 quantify in part because of its high spatiotemporal variability. Direct …

The relationship between leaf photosynthetic rate (A) in a vegetation canopy and the net ecosystem CO 2 exchange (NEE) over an entire ecosystem is not well understood. The aim …
