  1. 1. Sap flux scaled canopy transpiration, stomatal conductance and water use efficiency in an old-growth forest in the Great Lakes region 2. Carbon allocation in an old-growth hemlock- northern hardwood forest in the Great Lakes region Jianwu Tang and coauthors

  2. Ongoing projects • Respiration, production, and carbon allocation in Sylvania, Willow Creek, and Lost Creek: spatial variation and successional patterns • Canopy transpiration, stomatal conductance, and water use efficiency • Cross-site soil respiration and automated measurement of soil respiration (half-hour): diurnal and seasonal variations and controls • Upscaling: • Comparing Century-type carbon modeling with site measurements • Comparing high-resolution-imagery-based upscaling with site measurements

  3. Transpiration – stomatal conductance – photosynthesis Transpiration – water use efficiency – photosynthesis

  5. Carbon allocation • Important in ecosystem carbon modeling: fixed allocation or not? • Important in ecological theory: Odum, 1969, Science Ryan et al. 1997, Ad. Eco. Res.

  6. a: autotrophic, h: heterotrophic, w: wood, f: foliage, r: root, s: soil

  7. Carbon allocation (g C m-2 year-1)

  11. Conclusion • Component respiration and production vary with ecosystem type and stand age. • Transpiration studies can be coupled to carbon studies.
