Does increased spatial replication above heterogeneous agroforestry improve the representativeness of eddy covariance measurements? [PDF]
Spatial heterogeneity in terrestrial ecosystems compromises the accuracy of eddy covariance measurements. Examples of heterogeneous ecosystems are temperate agroforestry systems, which have been poorly studied by eddy covariance.

Upscaling key ecosystem functions across the conterminous United States by a water-centric ecosystem model [PDF]
We developed a water-centric monthly scale simulation model (WaSSI-C) by integrating empirical water and carbon flux measurements from the FLUXNET network and an existing water supply and demand accounting model (WaSSI).

A comparison of gap-filling algorithms for eddy covariance fluxes and their drivers
. The errors and uncertainties associated with gap-filling algorithms of water, carbon, and energy fluxes data have always been one of the main challenges of the global network of microclimatological tower sites that use the eddy covariance (EC ...

Modelling Amazonian forest eddy covariance data: a comparison of big leaf versus sun/shade models for the C-14 tower at Manaus I. Canopy photosynthesis [PDF]
In this study, we concentrate on modelling gross primary productivity using two simple approaches to simulate canopy photosynthesis: "big leaf" and "sun/shade" models.

Forest carbon sequestration is a widely accepted natural climate solution. However, methods to determine net carbon offsets are based on commercial carbon proxies or CO2 eddy covariance research with limited methodological comparisons. Non-CO2 greenhouse

Bulk aerodynamic methods have been shown to perform poorly in computing turbulent heat fluxes at glacier surfaces during shallow katabatic winds. Katabatic surface layers have different wind shear and flux profiles to the surface layers for which the ...

Estimating scalar turbulent fluxes with slow-response sensors in the stable atmospheric boundary layer [PDF]
Conventional and recently developed approaches for estimating turbulent scalar fluxes under stable atmospheric conditions are evaluated, with a focus on gases for which fast sensors are not readily available.

Measuring the biosphere-atmosphere exchange of total reactive nitrogen by eddy covariance [PDF]
The (net) exchange of reactive nitrogen (N<sub>r</sub>) with the atmosphere is an important driver for ecosystem productivity and greenhouse gas exchange.

Canopy uptake dominates nighttime carbonyl sulfide fluxes in a boreal forest [PDF]
Nighttime vegetative uptake of carbonyl sulfide (COS) can exist due to the incomplete closure of stomata and the light independence of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which complicates the use of COS as a tracer for gross primary productivity (GPP).
