β¦ Synopsis
Fluxes of COz, water vapor and sensible heat were measured in a grassland ecosystem near Manhattan, Kansas, employing the eddy correlation technique. The vegetation at this site is dominated by big bluestem (Andropgon gerardii), switchgrass (Panicurn virgatum), and indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans). Diurnal patterns of the energy budget components and CO2 fluxes are evaluated on a few selected days. Influence of high atmospheric evaporative demand and low availability of soil water are examined on (a) energy partitioning, and (b) the magnitudes and patterns of atmospheric carbon dioxide exchange. * Published as Paper No. 8470, Journal Series, Nebraska Agricultural Research Division. Boundary-Layer Meteorology 46 (1989) 53-67 @ 1989 by Kluwer Academic Publishers. * CO2 fluxes directed toward the surface are considered positive. CO2 fluxes are reported on a per ground area basis.
