Research Abstract |
Analyses on water and energy cycles at a Siberian pine forest are carried out, and the results are compared with those obtained at a Siberian larch forest. There are significant differences of seasonal variations on these cycles between the two forest sites. The parameters for a Jarvis type conductance model are similar to those obtained at the larch forest. There are clear relationships between the parameters in the Jarvis type model using not only our dataset but published datasets and the climatic variables using global grid datasets. This result suggests that physiological responses might be similar under same climatic conditions in spite of different vegetation types. Water cycles characteristics are investigated in a 0-order valley. Evapotranspiration from forest floors are strongly affected by spatial distributions of wind speed when soil moisture is high. On the other hand, understory evapotranspiration is affected by not only wind speed but also the spatial distribution of evaporation efficiency controlled by soil moisture under dry soil condition. The spatial and temporal distributions of latent and sensible heat fluxes in the lower atmospheric boundary layer are examined using a airplane. The results show that local circulation affects strongly the latent and sensible heat fluxes over the Siberian pine forest. This tendency agrees with the results obtained by the ground observation using a PBL tower mentioned above.
