Isotopic air sampling in a tallgrass prairie to partition net ecosystem CO2 exchange
[1] Stable isotope ratios of various ecosystem components and net ecosystem exchange (NEE) CO2 fluxes were measured in a C3-C4 mixture tallgrass prairie near Manhattan, Kansas. The July 2002 study period was chosen because of contrasting soil moisture contents, which allowed us to address the effects of drought on photosynthetic CO2 uptake and isotopic discrimination. Significantly higher NEE f...
متن کاملEcosystem characteristics of remnant, headwater tallgrass prairie streams.
North America has lost >95% of its native tallgrass prairie due to land conversion, making prairie streams one of the most endangered ecosystems. Research on the basic ecosystem characteristics of the remaining natural prairie streams will inform conservation and management. We examined the structure and function of headwater streams draining tallgrass prairie tracts at Osage Prairie in Missour...
متن کاملNitrogen Competition in a Tallgrass Prairie Ecosystem Exposed to Elevated Carbon Dioxide
mineralized and inorganic N immobilized into microbial biomass is net N mineralization. Although knowledge Because N is a limiting nutrient in tallgrass prairie and most ecosysof net N mineralization rates is important for assessing tems, changes in N availability or N cycling could control the longterm response of ecosystems to elevated atmospheric CO2. If more potentially plant-available inor...
متن کاملBiomass Production in a Tallgrass Prairie Ecosystem Exposed to Ambient and Elevated CO"2.
Responses to elevated CO"2 have not been measured for natural grassland ecosystems. Global carbon budgets will likely be affected by changes in biomass production and allocation in the major terrestrial ecosystems. Whether ecosystems sequester or release excess carbon to the atmosphere will partly determine the extent and rate that atmospheric CO"2 concentration rises. Elevated CO"2 also may ch...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic and Respiratory Acclimation to Experimental Warming for Four Species in a Tallgrass Prairie Ecosystem
Global temperature has been increased by 0.6 °C over the past century and is predicted to increase by 1.4–5.8 °C by the end of this century. It is unclear what impacts global warming will have on tallgrass species. In the present study, we examined leaf net photosynthetic rate (Pn) and leaf respiration rate in darkness (Rd) of Aster ericoides (L.) Nesom, Ambrosia psilostachya DC., Helianthus mo...
