| Abstract | In July 2007, MPB-KS was a C sink of 0.38 g C m-2 day-1, while MPB-CR was a larger sink of 0.89 g C m-2 day-1. During the nighttime, both sites are C sources, as respiration is the only flux taking place. In the morning, photosynthesis begins resulting in a net uptake of CO2. After 10 years of natural regeneration the clearcut’97 site remains a C source of 0.43 g C m-2 day-1. During the daytime this stand is characterized by a net uptake of CO2, however, this is offset by high rates of respiration during the night. Two years after harvesting, the clearcut’06 stand is a relatively large carbon source of 0.85 g C m-2 day-1. MPB-CR: Measurements began in March 2007 in a in a red attacked stand (attacked between 2002 and 2004). Since then this forest has progressed into the grey stage of MPB attack. |
