We propose the hypothesis that vegetated landscapes transmit information on soil moisture deficits through its down-regulation of evaporation, which in turn affects the humidification and growth of the planetary boundary layer. To test this hypothesis, we examined how the evaporative fraction, defined as the ratio between actual and potential evaporation, corresponds with the soil moisture stress index, defined as the relative humidity with a power law dependence on vapor pressure deficit times a parameter, β. We tested the parameterized soil moisture stress index with direct eddy covariance measurements of actual evaporation and computations of potential evaporation based on meteorological conditions, averaged on monthly time steps. The analysis was conducted on a dataset obtained from 144 FLUXNET sites. These sites spanned much of the world's climates and biomes and contained over 5900 months of observations. Observations of the evaporative fraction fit the model of the soil moisture stress index best for semi-arid and arid ecosystems, and least for the humid and wet ecosystems. Consequently, a significant relationship between measurements of the evaporative fraction and soil moisture stress index held for about one-half of the population of sites. Under this condition, the median value of the parameter, β, was 1.41. To investigate the mechanism of this empirical soil moisture stress index, we diagnosed it with a coupled evaporation-planetary boundary layer model. The soil moisture stress index is strongly related to surface resistance, as defined by inverting Penman-Monteith equation. Consequently, this index provides an independent estimate of surface resistance based on easy to measure mean monthly weather conditions like relative humidity and temperature. Thereby, this soil moisture stress index has potential to be applied to weather, climate and biogeochemical models and the interpretation of satellite derived evaporation products, like the one provided by the ECOSTRESS mission.}, journal={Advances in Water Resources}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Baldocchi, Dennis D. and Keeney, Nicole and Rey-Sanchez, Camilo and Fisher, Joshua B.}, year={2022}, month={Jan}, pages={104100} } @article{rey‐sanchez_arias‐ortiz_kasak_chu_szutu_verfaillie_baldocchi_2022, title={Detecting Hot Spots of Methane Flux Using Footprint‐Weighted Flux Maps}, volume={127}, ISSN={2169-8953 2169-8961}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1029/2022JG006977}, DOI={10.1029/2022JG006977}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={8}, journal={Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences}, publisher={American Geophysical Union (AGU)}, author={Rey‐Sanchez, Camilo and Arias‐Ortiz, Ariane and Kasak, Kuno and Chu, Housen and Szutu, Daphne and Verfaillie, Joseph and Baldocchi, Dennis}, year={2022}, month={Aug} } @article{kong_ryu_liu_dechant_rey-sanchez_shortt_szutu_verfaillie_houborg_baldocchi_2022, title={Matching high resolution satellite data and flux tower footprints improves their agreement in photosynthesis estimates}, volume={316}, ISSN={0168-1923}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.agrformet.2022.108878}, DOI={10.1016/j.agrformet.2022.108878}, abstractNote={Mapping canopy photosynthesis in both high spatial and temporal resolution is essential for carbon cycle monitoring in heterogeneous areas. However, well established satellites in sun-synchronous orbits such as Sentinel-2, Landsat and MODIS can only provide either high spatial or high temporal resolution but not both. Recently established CubeSat satellite constellations have created an opportunity to overcome this resolution trade-off. In particular, Planet Fusion allows full utilization of the CubeSat data resolution and coverage while maintaining high radiometric quality. In this study, we used the Planet Fusion surface reflectance product to calculate daily, 3-m resolution, gap-free maps of the near-infrared radiation reflected from vegetation (NIRvP). We then evaluated the performance of these NIRvP maps for estimating canopy photosynthesis by comparing with data from a flux tower network in Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California, USA. Overall, NIRvP maps captured temporal variations in canopy photosynthesis of individual sites, despite changes in water extent in the wetlands and frequent mowing in the crop fields. When combining data from all sites, however, we found that robust agreement between NIRvP maps and canopy photosynthesis could only be achieved when matching NIRvP maps to the flux tower footprints. In this case of matched footprints, NIRvP maps showed considerably better performance than in situ NIRvP in estimating canopy photosynthesis both for daily sum and data around the time of satellite overpass (R2 = 0.78 vs. 0.60, for maps vs. in situ for the satellite overpass time case). This difference in performance was mostly due to the higher degree of consistency in slopes of NIRvP-canopy photosynthesis relationships across the study sites for flux tower footprint-matched maps. Our results show the importance of matching satellite observations to the flux tower footprint and demonstrate the potential of CubeSat constellation imagery to monitor canopy photosynthesis remotely at high spatio-temporal resolution.}, journal={Agricultural and Forest Meteorology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Kong, Juwon and Ryu, Youngryel and Liu, Jiangong and Dechant, Benjamin and Rey-Sanchez, Camilo and Shortt, Robert and Szutu, Daphne and Verfaillie, Joe and Houborg, Rasmus and Baldocchi, Dennis D.}, year={2022}, month={Apr}, pages={108878} } @article{morin_riley_grant_mekonnen_stefanik_sanchez_mulhare_villa_wrighton_bohrer_2022, title={Water level changes in Lake Erie drive 21st century CO2 and CH4 fluxes from a coastal temperate wetland}, volume={821}, ISSN={["1879-1026"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153087}, abstractNote={Wetland water depth influences microbial and plant communities, which can alter the above- and below-ground carbon cycling of a wetland. Wetland water depths are likely to change due to shifting precipitation patterns, which will affect projections of greenhouse gas emissions; however, these effects are rarely incorporated into wetland greenhouse gas models. Seeking to address this gap, we used a mechanistic model, ecosys, to simulate a range of water depth scenarios in a temperate wetland, and analyzed simulated predictions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) fluxes over the 21st century. We tested our model using eddy covariance measurements of CO2 and CH4 fluxes collected at the Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve (OWC) during 2015 and 2016. OWC is a lacustrine, estuarine, freshwater, mineral-soil marsh. An empirical model found that the wetland water depth is highly dependent on the water depth of the nearby Lake Erie. Future wetland surface water depths were modeled based on projection of Lake Erie's water depth using four separate NOAA projections, resulting in four wetland water-depth scenarios. Two of the four 21st century projections for Lake Erie water depths used in this study indicated that the water depth of the wetland would remain nearly steady; however, the other two indicated decreases in the wetland water depth. In our scenario where the wetland dries out, we project the wetland's climatological warming effect will decrease due to smaller CH4 fluxes to the atmosphere and larger CO2 uptake by the wetland. We also found that increased water level can lower emissions by shifting the site towards more open water areas, which have lower CH4 emissions. We found that decreased water depths would cause more widespread colonization of the wetland by macrophyte vegetation. Using an empirical relationship, we also found that further drying could result in other, non-wetland vegetation to emerge, dramatically altering soil carbon cycling. In three of our four projections, we found that in general the magnitude of CO2 and CH4 fluxes steadily increase over the next 100 years in response to higher temperatures. However, in our driest simulations, we projected a different response due to increased oxidation of soil carbon, with CH4 emissions decreasing substantially from an annual cumulative peak of 224.6 to a minimum of 104.7 gC m-2 year-1. In that same simulation, net cumulative flux of CO2 changed from being a sink of 56.5 gC m-2 year-1 to a source of 369.6 gC m-2 year-1 over the same period, despite a temperature increase from 13.7 °C to 14.2 °C. This temperature shift in our other three cases with greater water depths increased the source strength of CH4 and the sink strength of CO2. We conclude that the magnitude of wetland greenhouse-gas fluxes depended on the water depth primarily as it affected the areal percentage of the wetland available for plant colonization, but dramatic decreases in water depths could cause significant reductions in the wetland CH4 fluxes, while simultaneously altering the wetland vegetation.}, journal={SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT}, author={Morin, Timothy H. and Riley, William J. and Grant, Robert F. and Mekonnen, Zelalem and Stefanik, Kay C. and Sanchez, A.

This study synthesizes results of different gap-filling methods systematically applied at 17 wetland sites spanning boreal to tropical regions and including all major wetland classes and two rice paddies. Procedures are proposed for: 1) creating realistic artificial gap scenarios, 2) training and evaluating gap-filling models without overstating performance, and 3) predicting half-hourly methane fluxes and annual emissions with realistic uncertainty estimates. Performance is compared between a conventional method (marginal distribution sampling) and four machine learning algorithms. The conventional method achieved similar median performance as the machine learning models but was worse than the best machine learning models and relatively insensitive to predictor choices. Of the machine learning models, decision tree algorithms performed the best in cross-validation experiments, even with a baseline predictor set, and artificial neural networks showed comparable performance when using all predictors. Soil temperature was frequently the most important predictor whilst water table depth was important at sites with substantial water table fluctuations, highlighting the value of data on wetland soil conditions.

For optimal utility in agricultural water management applications, frequent thermal imaging (<4-day revisit) at sub-field (100 m or less) spatial resolution is desired. While, the current suite of Landsat satellites (7 and 8) provides the required spatial resolution, the 8-day combined revisit can be inadequate to capture rapid changes in surface moisture status or crop phenology, particularly in areas of persistent cloud cover. The new ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS) mission, with an average 4-day revisit interval and nominal 70-m resolution, provides a valuable research platform for augmenting Landsat TIR sampling and for investigating TIR-based ET mapping mission requirements more broadly.

A data fusion algorithm is used to fuse Landsat and ECOSTRESS ET retrievals at 30 m with daily 500-m retrievals using TIR data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) over target agricultural sites spanning the United States.The added value of the combined multi-source dataset is quantified in comparison with daily flux tower observations collected within these target domains.

Usually harvesting is done during the peak growing season to maximize the amount of nutrients removed from the system. This, however, can create huge methane fluxes that escape from plant tissues to the atmosphere. We used manual chambers and eddy covariance measurements to analyze the increase in methane emissions due to the harvesting of two common wetland species, Typha spp. and Schoenoplectus spp., in two climatically different constructed wetlands in Estonia and California. In addition, we determined the biomass nutrient and carbon concentrations from harvested biomass. We found that harvesting during the summer season, e.g. June and August, resulted in a significant release of methane at both sites. At the California site, baseline median methane emissions were 217.6 nmol m−2 s−1, and harvesting resulted in increases to 395.4 nmol m−2 s−1 that decreased to baseline emission within three days. Footprint modeling demonstrated that the emission increases measured by eddy covariance were dominated by contributions from the cut area to the total footprint signal. At the Estonian site, harvesting resulted in methane increases of 15.9 nmol m−2 s−1 to 110.4 nmol m−2 s−1 in August. However, in September and October the emission was significantly lower. Plant biomass analyses showed clear temporal dynamics in terms of nutrient concentration, being highest in summer and lowest in winter.

Previous studies on CH4 emissions at hydrofracking operations have used bottom-up approaches collected at discrete timepoints or discrete aerial surveys covering a wide spatial area, constraining the temporal scale of inference regarding these emissions. This project monitored atmospheric CH4 concentrations and stable carbon isotopes at a half-hourly temporal resolution from a 20-m tower downwind of a hydrofracking well pad in West Virginia for eighteen months. We collected four months of baseline observations prior to onsite well development to construct an empirical artificial neural-network model of baseline CH4 concentrations. We compared measured CH4 concentrations against the ANN-modeled CH4 baseline to identify CH4 concentration spikes that coincided with different stages of onsite well development, from the baseline period through fracking. CH4 concentration spikes were significantly more frequent than baseline conditions during the vertical drilling and fracking phases of operations. We found that the median magnitude of CH4 concentration spikes during the vertical drilling phase was 316% larger than that of the baseline phase, and the median magnitude of CH4 concentration spikes was 509% larger in the hydraulic stimulation (fracking) stage compared to the baseline phase. We also partitioned the sources of measured CH4 concentrations to biogenic ruminant and geologic shale gas isotopic signatures by measuring 13CH4 gas at high temporal resolution and using a source-partitioning 13CH4 model. The measured median value of half-hourly CH4 concentration spikes attributed to a geologic shale gas isotopic origin was 27% larger than the median CH4 concentration spikes attributed to ruminants, and the maximum half-hourly CH4 concentration spike attributed to shale gas was up to 179% higher than maximum CH4 concentration spike for ruminant-dominated half-hours.

Although models for partitioning tower-measured ET have been developed, their reliability for different types of ecosystems still requires extensive validations. From 2001 to 2019, we measured CO2 and H2O vapor fluxes over an oak-grass savanna landscape from three eddy-covariance towers (i.e., one over an oak woodland; the other two over annual grasslands under tree canopy and in open area). Annual ET (± standard deviation) from the oak woodland, understory grassland, and open grassland was 419±85 mm, 167±36 mm, 324±43 mm, respectively. The differences between the above- and below-canopy ET indicated that oak canopy transpiration (Toak) was 281±48 mm year−1, accounting for 67±8% of the total ET of the woodland. The Toak/ET ratio varied in seasons, similar to the pattern of oak's leaf area index but opposite to that of soil moisture. We then tested two ET-partitioning models: Scott's long-term-regression-interception (LTRI) model (Scott and Biederman, 2017) and Zhou's quantile-regression-maximum-slope (QRMS) model (Zhou et al., 2016). Even though we expected that the two models would give divergent results since theiremo working principles, both models captured reasonable magnitudes and seasonal patterns of the T/ET ratio, as suggested by tower measurements. The study confirms that the LTRI and QRMS models are applicable for savanna ecosystems, but some modifications are necessary for tree dominated areas.

To date, this prediction has not been rigorously tested. Here, we exposed seedlings of Abatia parviflora Ruiz & Pav to light regimes of equal total daily irradiance but with three different daily time courses of PPFD: constant PPFD (No_H), low heterogeneity (Low_H) and high heterogeneity (High_H). Mean ϵL, leaf daily photosynthesis and plant growth were all significantly higher in No_H and Low_H plants than in High_H plants, supporting our hypothesis. In addition, mean ϵL was positively related to final plant biomass. Unexpectedly, High_H plants had more etiolated stems and more horizontal leaves than No_H and Low_H plants, possibly due to exposure to low PPFD in the morning and afternoon. In conclusion, PPFD heterogeneity had an important effect on average ϵL, photosynthesis and growth, but also on allocation and plant morphology. }, number={7}, journal={Functional Plant Biology}, publisher={CSIRO Publishing}, author={Rey-Sanchez, Camilo and Posada, Juan M.}, year={2019}, pages={684} } @article{villa_ju_vines_rey-sanchez_morin_wrighton_bohrer_2019, title={Relationships Between Methane and Carbon Dioxide Fluxes in a Temperate Cattail-Dominated Freshwater Wetland}, volume={124}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85069834504&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1029/2019JG005167}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={7}, journal={Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences}, author={Villa, J.A. and Ju, Y. and Vines, C. and Rey-Sanchez, C. and Morin, T.H. and Wrighton, K.C. and Bohrer, G.}, year={2019}, pages={2076–2089} } @article{sanchez_2019, title={Reply to reviewer 1}, volume={7}, url={https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-2019-116-AC1}, DOI={10.5194/bg-2019-116-AC1}, publisher={Copernicus GmbH}, author={Sanchez, Camilo Rey}, year={2019}, month={Jul} } @article{sanchez_2019, title={Response to reviewer 2}, volume={7}, url={https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-2019-116-AC2}, DOI={10.5194/bg-2019-116-AC2}, publisher={Copernicus GmbH}, author={Sanchez, Camilo Rey}, year={2019}, month={Jul} } @article{xiao_li_he_arain_beringer_desai_emmel_hollinger_krasnova_mammarella_et al._2019, title={Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence exhibits a universal relationship with gross primary productivity across a wide variety of biomes}, volume={25}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85060650515&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1111/gcb.14565}, abstractNote={In our recent study in Global Change Biology (Li et al., ), we examined the relationship between solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) measured from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) and gross primary productivity (GPP) derived from eddy covariance flux towers across the globe, and we discovered that there is a nearly universal relationship between SIF and GPP across a wide variety of biomes.

While the CH4 fluxes and pore-water concentrations were not correlated with methanogen relative abundance, the ratio of methanogens to methanotrophs in the upper portion of the peat was significantly correlated to CH4 transfer velocity (the CH4 flux divided by the difference in CH4 pore-water concentration between the top of the peat profile and the concentration in equilibrium with the atmosphere). Since ebullition and plant-mediated transport were not important sources of CH4 and the peat structure and porosity were similar across the different zones in the bog, we conclude that the differences in CH4 transfer velocities, and thus the flux, are driven by the ratio of methanogen to methanotroph relative abundance close to the surface.

The eddy covariance (EC) technique was used to measure fluxes of CH4 and CO2 continuously during the growing seasons of 2015 and 2016. Simultaneously, monthly sampling of gas exchange was conducted using non-steady state chambers in four distinct land-cover types in the wetland: open water, emergent vegetation (Typha spp.), floating vegetation (Nelumbo spp.) and mud flats. Chambers and EC measurements were combined to provide estimates of the continuous contributions of each land cover to the total methane emissions of the wetland. In addition, water and meteorological measurements were used to determine the most important environmental drivers of methane flux in the wetland. We found an average rate of emission from the Typha patch, the most abundant vegetated land cover, of 219.4 g CH4 C m−2 y−1, which was much higher than rates reported in similar emergent vegetation types in other wetlands. Mud flats had the highest rates of CH4 emission, followed by Nelumbo and Typha patches, and open water. Mud flats contributed 6.8% of the total CH4 emissions of the wetland despite occupying only 1.5% of the wetland area, whereas open water contributed 16.1% despite occupying 47% of the wetland area. Water temperature and wind speed were the strongest environmental drivers of CH4 flux to the atmosphere. Carbon fluxes were strongly correlated to methane fluxes.

In the present study, we aimed to quantify the variation in Tleaf relative to Tair under naturally varying PPFD values in two representative species (Espeletia grandiflora and Chusquea tessellata) of a tropical alpine ecosystem (paramo, Colombian Andes) during both wet and dry seasons. The results of a Structural Equation Model showed that Tleaf was strongly correlated with changes in Tair during both seasons, but large differences (up to 14 °C) occurred between Tair and Tleaf, during the dry season when PPFD varied the most, especially in C. tessellata. Thus, using Tair to proximate Tleaf under variable conditions of incident sunlight could generate substantial errors in estimates of temperature-sensitive physiological processes.

Large uncertainties exist for the rates of CH4 emissions making it difficult to determine the extent that CH4 emissions counteract the carbon sequestration of wetlands. Urban temperate wetlands are typically small and feature highly heterogeneous land cover, posing an additional challenge to determining their CH4 budget. The data analysis approach we introduce here combines two different CH4 flux measurement techniques to overcome scale and heterogeneity problems and determine the overall CH4 budget of a small, heterogeneous, urban wetland landscape. Temporally intermittent point measurements from non-steady-state chambers provided information about patch-level heterogeneity of fluxes, while continuous, high temporal resolution flux measurements using the eddy-covariance (EC) technique provided information about the temporal dynamics of the fluxes. Patch-level scaling parameterization was developed from the chamber data to scale eddy covariance data to a ‘fixed-frame’, which corrects for variability in the spatial coverage of the eddy covariance observation footprint at any single point in time. By combining two measurement techniques at different scales, we addressed shortcomings of both techniques with respect to heterogeneous wetland sites. We determined that fluxes observed by the two methods are statistically similar in magnitude when brought to the same temporal and spatial scale. We also found that open-water and macrophyte-covered areas of the wetland followed similar phenological cycles and emitted nearly equivalent levels of CH4 for much of the year. However, vegetated wetland areas regularly exhibited a stronger late-summer emission peak, possibly due to CH4 transport through mature vegetation vascular systems. Normalizing the eddy covariance data to a fixed-frame allowed us to determine the seasonal CH4 budget of each patch and the overall site. Overall, the macrophyte areas had the largest CH4 fluxes followed by the open water areas. Uncertainties in the final CH4 budget included spatial heterogeneity of CH4 fluxes, the tower footprint, measurement in the data to be scaled, and gap-filling. Of these, the spatial placement of the chambers provided the largest source of uncertainty in CH4 estimates.

To achieve this, we used a 42 m tall construction crane for canopy access and monitored the microenvironment within the canopy of mature, 20−35 m tall trees of 5 tropical tree species during the wet and the dry season. Tleaf was correlated to photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) in the wet season but not in the dry season, possibly due to seasonal differences in wind speed, physiology, and canopy phenology. A structural equation model showed that Tleaf is best explained by air temperature (Tair) and PPFD in the wet season, whereas in the dry season, Tair alone predicted most of the variation in Tleaf. These results suggest the utility of an empirical approach to estimate Tleaf variability where simple meteoro logical data are available. This approach can be incorporated in future models of vegetation−atmosphere carbon and water exchange models of mature tropical forests with similar seasonality.}, number={1}, journal={Climate Research}, publisher={Inter-Research Science Center}, author={Rey-Sánchez, AC and Slot, M and Posada, JM and Kitajima, K}, year={2016}, month={Nov}, pages={75–89} } @article{slot_rey-sánchez_gerber_lichstein_winter_kitajima_2014, title={Thermal acclimation of leaf respiration of tropical trees and lianas: response to experimental canopy warming, and consequences for tropical forest carbon balance}, volume={20}, ISSN={1354-1013}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/gcb.12563}, DOI={10.1111/gcb.12563}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={9}, journal={Global Change Biology}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Slot, Martijn and Rey-Sánchez, Camilo and Gerber, Stefan and Lichstein, Jeremy W. and Winter, Klaus and Kitajima, Kaoru}, year={2014}, month={May}, pages={2915–2926} } @article{slot_rey-sánchez_winter_kitajima_2014, title={Trait-based scaling of temperature-dependent foliar respiration in a species-rich tropical forest canopy}, volume={28}, ISSN={0269-8463}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.12263}, DOI={10.1111/1365-2435.12263}, abstractNote={Summary}, number={5}, journal={Functional Ecology}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Slot, Martijn and Rey-Sánchez, Camilo and Winter, Klaus and Kitajima, Kaoru}, editor={Poorter, LourensEditor}, year={2014}, month={Mar}, pages={1074–1086} }
