Stomatal conductance influences both photosynthesis and transpiration, thereby coupling the carbon and water cycles and affecting surface-atmosphere energy exchange. The environmental response of stomatal conductance has been measured mainly at the leaf scale, and theoretical canopy models are relied on to upscale stomatal conductance for application in terrestrial ecosystem models and climate prediction. Here we estimate stomatal conductance and associated transpiration in a temperate 15 deciduous forest directly at the canopy scale via two independent approaches: (i) from heat and water vapor exchange, and (ii) from carbonyl sulfide (OCS) uptake. We use the eddy covariance method to measure the net ecosystem-atmosphere exchange of OCS, and we use a flux-gradient approach to separate canopy OCS uptake from soil OCS uptake. We find that the seasonal and diurnal patterns of canopy stomatal conductance obtained by the two approaches agree (to within ±6% diurnally), validating both methods.

Thesis By Kristian Rost Albert Supervisors: Helge Ro-Poulsen1 and Teis N. Mikkelsen2 1Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen, 2Biosystems department, Risø DTU 16-03-2009 Preface This thesis on plant eco-physiological responses to multiple environmental and climate changes is the result of a three year ph.d project at Institute of Biology, University of Copenhagen and the Biosystems Department at RISØ-DTU. The studies have been interrupted by a two weeks maternity leave and 9 month research assistant position at the Biosystems department at RISØ-DTU. My supervisors Helge Ro-Poulsen and Teis N. Mikkelsen were always helpful with ideas, resources, and feedback when ever needed. In line with my supervisors I would like to express my gratitude to Anders Michelsen giving me extraordinary feedback all the way. I have been very fortunate to be a part of the physiological ecology research group that has been my scientific playground and room for many fruitful discussions. Thanks to Esben Vedel Nielsen, Gosha Sylvester, Niels Bruun, Karna Heinsen, Karin Larsen and Svend Danbæk for help with laboratory and IT work. In the CLIMAITE project group I have experienced a unique interdisciplinary teamwork of researchers in an open minded atmosphere, combined with ambitions and common research goals. This has been a platform for development, research and teamwork, and I have felt to be part of a research effort pushing insight far further than individually studies could have done. Thanks to all CLIMAITE members, the ph.d group and in particular thanks to project leader Claus Beier providing trust and resources into this ph.d project.

  • Calculating Canopy Stomatal Conductance from Eddy Covariance Measurements, in Light of the Energy Budget Closure Problem Richard Wehr1, Scott
    https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-2020-154 Preprint. Discussion started: 13 May 2020 c Author(s) 2020. CC BY 4.0 License. Calculating Canopy Stomatal Conductance from Eddy Covariance Measurements, in Light of the Energy Budget Closure Problem Richard Wehr1, Scott. R. Saleska1 1Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, 85721, U.S.A. 5 Correspondence to: Richard Wehr ([email protected]) Abstract. Canopy stomatal conductance (gsV) is commonly estimated from eddy covariance (EC) measurements of latent heat flux (LE) by inverting the Penman-Monteith (PM) equation. That method implicitly represents the sensible heat flux (H) as the residual of all other terms in the site energy budget — even though H is measured at least as accurately as LE at every EC site while the rest of the energy budget almost never is. We argue that gsV should instead be calculated from EC 10 measurements of both H and LE, using the flux-gradient formulation that defines conductance and underlies the PM equation. The flux-gradient formulation dispenses with unnecessary assumptions, is conceptually simpler, and provides more accurate values of gsV for all plausible scenarios in which the measured energy budget fails to close, as is common at EC sites. The PM equation, on the other hand, contributes biases and erroneous spatial and temporal patterns to gsV, skewing its relationships with drivers such as light and vapor pressure deficit. To minimize the impact of the energy budget closure 15 problem on the PM equation, it was previously proposed that the eddy fluxes should be corrected to close the long-term energy budget while preserving the Bowen ratio (B = H/LE).

Given the strong in- Leaf turgor pressure fluence of gs on bulk leaf water potential and turgor pressure (P), in vivo measurement of P may provide useful Stomatal conductance information about diurnal or seasonal dynamics of gs. Moderate plant water stress affects the diurnal dynamics of Olive P as leaf-to-air vapour pressure deficit (D) varies, and these dynamics correlate to g .
