Other claims from this paper (15)
- Observation Daily minimum carbon dioxide flux was near minus twenty during full leaf expansion.
- Observation Night ecosystem respiration ranged from five to fifteen micromoles.
- Association Seasonal ecosystem exchange related to leaf expansion and soil water in dry 1996.
- Observation Ecosystem respiration peaked in spring and summer at four to seven grams carbon daily.
- Association Ecosystem respiration appeared correlated with soil temperature.
- Association Soil respiration showed a similar temporal pattern and responses to temperature and drying.
- Observation Annual soil respiration was about seventy percent of ecosystem respiration.
- Observation Root respiration made up sixty percent of belowground respiration.
- Observation Net carbon exchange in 1996 was minus 218 grams carbon per square meter.
- Observation Net carbon exchange in 1997 was minus 257 grams carbon per square meter.
- Observation Biomass increment was 427 in 1996 and 471 in 1997.
- Mechanism The carbon balance discrepancy may reflect woody debris decomposition.
- Observation Annual ecosystem carbon loss from respiration was 800 to 1000 grams per square meter.
- Observation Annual gross carbon gain was 1000 to 1300 grams per square meter.
- Observation Authors concluded ecosystem respiration was a major part of annual forest carbon balance.
