Analytic Webs Support the Synthesis of Ecological Data Sets
(Ecological Society of America, 2006)A wide variety of data sets produced by individual investigators are now synthesized to address ecological questions that span a range of spatial and temporal scales. It is important to facilitate such syntheses so that ... -
Deriving a Light Use Efficiency Model from Eddy Covariance Flux Data for Predicting Daily Gross Primary Production Across Biomes
(Elsevier, 2007)The quantitative simulation of gross primary production (GPP) at various spatial and temporal scales has been a major challenge in quantifying the global carbon cycle. We developed a light use efficiency (LUE) daily GPP ... -
Estimation of Net Ecosystem Carbon Exchange for the Conterminous United States by Combining MODIS and AmeriFlux Data
(Elsevier, 2008)Eddy covariance flux towers provide continuous measurements of net ecosystem carbon exchange (NEE) for a wide range of climate and biome types. However, these measurements only represent the carbon fluxes at the scale of ... -
Linking Flux Network Measurements to Continental Scale Simulations: Ecosystem Carbon Dioxide Exchange Capacity under Non-Water-Stressed Conditions
(Blackwell Science, 2007)This paper examines long-term eddy covariance data from 18 European and 17 North American and Asian forest, wetland, tundra, grassland, and cropland sites under non-water-stressed conditions with an empirical rectangular ... -
A Multi-Site Analysis of Random Error in Tower-Based Measurements of Carbon and Energy Fluxes
(Elsevier, 2006)Measured surface-atmosphere fluxes of energy (sensible heat, <i>H</i>, and latent heat, LE) and CO2 (<i>F</i>CO2) represent the "true" flux plus or minus potential random and systematic measurement errors. Here, we use data ... -
Soil Respiration in a Northeastern US Temperate Forest: A 22-Year Synthesis
(Ecological Society of America, 2013)To better understand how forest management, phenology, vegetation type, and actual and simulated climatic change affect seasonal and inter-annual variations in soil respiration (R\(_{s}\)), we analyzed more than 100,000 ...
