1 EC FLUXES: BASIC CONCEPTS AND BACKGROUND Timo Vesala (thanks to e.g. Samuli Launiainen and Ivan Mammarella)

2 Scales of meteorological processes: Synoptic scale, ~ 1000 km (weather predictions, ~ day) Mesoscale, ~ 100 km (land-sea breeze, ~ hours) Microscale, ~ 1 mm 1 km; ~ seconds - hour

3 1. Big issues and motivation trial 2. Concept of flux 3. C and water cycles and flux towers 4. Methane and wetlands 5. Lakes 6. Urban surface 7. Nitrogen 8. On databases

4 Fate of Anthropogenic CO 2 Emissions (2010) 9.1±0.5 PgC y ±0.2 PgC y -1 50% 2.6±1.0 PgC + y-1 0.9±0.7 PgC y 26% -1 Calculated as the residual of all other flux components 24% 2.4±0.5 PgC y -1 Average of 5 models Global Carbon Project 2010; Updated from Le Quéré et al. 2009, Nature Geoscience; Canadell et al. 2007, PNAS

5 Total positive radiative forcing comparable in magnitude to other physical forcings/feedbacks Understanding of these very low (e.g. nitrogen cycle stimulation or limitation of C sequestration)

6 Science 320, 1444 (2008) Physical, chemical and biological processes affect the climate (energy, hydrology and atmospheric composition) Complex and non-linear interactions can damp and enhance anthropogenic changes Forests act as carbon sinks and feedbacks can increase or decrease this climate forcing Transpiration of tropical forests cools and the darkness of boreal forests (albedo) warms Net effects are not known

7 CONCEPT OF FLUX

8 MASS TRANSPORT BETWEEN THE ATMOSPHERE AND ECOSYSTEMS Material produced or absorbed by the biological sink is either stored in the air or transported away Transport by Turbulence (eddies) Advection (bulk flow)

9 What is a vertical flux? Vertical flux (density!) is defined as the amount of material transported vertically per unit area per unit time Typical units: mmol m -2 s -1 CO 2, plant physiologists mg m -2 s -1 pollution community mg m -2 hr -1 chambers, VOC ppb m s -1 chemists units # cm -2 s -1 particle number fluxes meq m -2 s -1 comparisons, acidity kg ha -1 yr -1 or g m -2 yr -1 W m -2 annual budgets CO 2, N sensible and latent heat fluxes E. Nemitz

10 C and WATER CYCLES and FLUX TOWERS

11 Tall towers > 100 m (top-down) Air planes (boundary layer) Flux towers (bottom-up) Chambers

12 Evapotranspiration = Evaporation + transpiration

13 Net ecosystem exchange (NEE) = - (growth decomposition) = - NEP Heterotrophic respiartion Growth Photosynthesis (assimilation) Decomposition

14 Water vapour and CO 2 exchange in Hyytiälä (40-year-old pine) Water vapour Evapo- Transpir. Source CO 2 Sink

15 Gap-filled carbon balance (Hyytiälä Scots pine) g per m 2 = 10 kg per ha

18 Weekly average NEE, pine forest, Hyytiälä S. Launiainen

19 EC vs. growth (NPP) matches for beech (Germany) NEP [g m -2 ] R² = 0.19 Interannual variation similar 100 Proportion compared to 2012 (%) M + F M Year Hainich NP wood NPP NEE M + F ? M What does explain years with smaller sinks? M = Big seed production F = Cold when leaves produced Mathias Herbst

20 Carbon balance in Hyytiälä pine forest GPP (EC) g C m-2 - = TER (EC) g C m-2 NEP (EC) g C m-2 Tree photosynthesis 900 g C m -2 Photosynthesis of ground vegetation Annual tree growth above ground 200 g C m -2 Carbon stock in trees 6800 g C m g C m -2 Tree litter production above ground 75 g C m -2 Stem respiration 60 g C m -2 Canopy respiration 250 g C m -2 Soil CO 2 efflux 575 g C m -2 (522) Tree litter production below ground 150 g C m -2 Ground vegetation litter production above and below ground 66 g C m -2 Tree growth below ground 50 g C m -2 Root and rhizosphere respiration soil organic matter Decomposition of 200 g C m g C m -2 Soil carbon stock~ 6560 g C m -2

35 Single lake fluxes are heterogenous in space and time! We need method development to ensure representative data! Examples for CH 4 : 1.Diffusive flux from wind exposed central parts (Schilder et al. 2013). 2.Shallow water with high ebullition (Bastviken et al. 2004). 3.High plant mediated flux (Bergström et al. 2007). 4.Hot spot zones with high sediment deposition (DelSontro et al. 2012) D. Bastviken
