Assessing the Role of High-Frequency Winds and Sea Ice Loss on Arctic Phytoplankton Blooms in an Ice-Ocean-Biogeochemical Model
Download2019-01-01
de la Guardia, L. Castro, Garcia-Quintana, Y., Claret, M., Hu, X., Galbraith, E. D., Myers, Paul G.
The long-term trend of increasing phytoplankton net primary production (NPP) in the Arctic correlates with increasing light penetration due to sea ice loss. However, recent studies suggest that enhanced stormy wind mixing may also play a significant role enhancing NPP. Here, we isolate the role...

Boreal forest CO2 exchange and evapotranspiration predicted by nine ecosystem process models: Inter-model comparisons and relationships to field measurements
Download2001
Wofsy, S.C., Frolking, S.E., Wang, S., Clein, J.S., McGuire, A.D., Potter, C.S., Goulden, M.L., Chen, J.M., Grant, R.F., Nikolov, N.T., Amthor, J.S., Kimball, J.S., King, A.W.
Nine ecosystem process models were used to predict CO2 and water vapor exchanges by a 150-year-old black spruce forest in central Canada during 1994-1996 to evaluate and improve the models. Three models had hourly time steps, five had daily time steps, and one had monthly time steps. Model input...

Carbon and energy exchange by a black spruce – moss ecosystem under changing climate: testing the mathematical model ecosys with data from the BOREAS experiment
Download2001
Grant, R.F., Berry, J.A., Wofsy, S.C., Goulden, M.L.
There is some uncertainty whether net ecosystem productivity (NEP) of boreal black spruce forests is positive or negative under current climates and how NEP would change under hypothesized changes in future climates. The mathematical model ecosys was used to examine NEP of a boreal black spruce...

Characterizing the performance of ecosystem models across time scales: A spectral analysis of the North American Carbon Program site-level synthesis

Black, T.A., Izaurralde, R.C., Lokupitiya, E., Munger, J.W., Schaefer, K., Weng, E., Richardson, A.D., Altaf Arain, M., Luo, Y., Ciais, P., Ricciuto, D.M., Stoy, P.C., Dietze, M.C., Poulter, B., Barr, A.G., Liu, S., Hollinger, D., Tian, H., Suyker, A.E., Verbeeck, H., Price, D.T., Grant, R.F., Peng, C., Baker, I.T., Vargas, R., Anderson, R.S., Tonitto, C., Sahoo, A.K., Chen, J.M., Flanagan, L.B., Riley, W.J., Wang, W., Lafleur, P., Gough, C.M., Verma, S.B., Kucharik, C.J.
Ecosystem models are important tools for diagnosing the carbon cycle and projecting its behavior across space and time. Despite the fact that ecosystems respond to drivers at multiple time scales, most assessments of model performance do not discriminate different time scales. Spectral methods,...

Characterizing vegetation structural and topographic characteristics sampled by eddy covariance within two mature aspen stands using lidar and a flux footprint model: Scaling to MODIS
Download2011
Kljun, N., Hopkinson, C., Giroux, K., Petrone, R., Chasmer, L., Milne, T., Devito, K., Creed, I., Barr, A.
In this study, a Boolean classification was applied using novel methods to 3-D vegetation structural and topographic attributes found within flux footprint source/sink areas measured by eddy covariance instrumentation. The purpose was to determine if the spatial frequency of 3-D attributes, such...

Comparison of boreal ecosystem model sensitivity to variability in climate and forest site parameters

McGuire, A.D., Chen, J.M., Liu, J., Frolking, S.E., Wang, S., Potter, C.S., Amthor, J.S., Nikolov, N.T., Clein, J.S., Kimball, J.S., King, A.W., Grant, R.F.
Ecosystem models are useful tools for evaluating environmental controls on carbon and water cycles under past or future conditions. In this paper we compare annual carbon and water fluxes from nine boreal spruce forest ecosystem models in a series of sensitivity simulations. For each comparison,...

Controls on carbon and energy exchange by a black spruce–moss ecosystem: Testing the mathematical model Ecosys with data from the BOREAS Experiment
Download2001
Massheder, J.M., Berry, J.A., Scott, S.L., Rayment, M., Jarvis, P.G., Grant, R.F., Hale, S.E., Moncrieff, J.B.
Stomatal limitations to mass and energy exchange over boreal black spruce forests may be caused by low needle N concentrations that limit CO(2) fixation rates. These low concentrations may be caused by low N uptake rates from cold boreal soils with high soil C:N ratios and by low N deposition...

Ecological controls on net ecosystem productivity of a mesic arctic tundra under current and future climates
Download2011
Dimitrov, D. D., Grant, R. F., Lafleur, P. M., Humphreys, E. R.
Abstract: Changes in arctic C stocks with climate are thought to be caused by rising net primary productivity (NPP) during longer and warmer growing seasons, offset by rising heterotrophic respiration (Rh) in warmer and deeper soil active layers. In this study, we used the process model ecosys to...
