Abstract
The seasonality of the NEE of the northern boreal coniferous forests was investigated by means of inversion modelling using eddy covariance data. Eddy covariance data was used to optimize the biochemical model parameters. Our study sites consisted of three Scots pine (1. Pinus sylvestris) forests and one Norway spruce (1. Picea abies) forest that were located in Finland and Sweden. We obtained temperature and seasonal dependence for the biochemical model parameters: the maximum rate of carboxylation (V-c(max)) and the maximum rate of electron transport (J(max)). Both of the parameters were optimized without assumptions about their mutual magnitude. The values obtained for the biochemical model parameters were similar at all the sites... (More)
The seasonality of the NEE of the northern boreal coniferous forests was investigated by means of inversion modelling using eddy covariance data.

We obtained temperature and seasonal dependence for the biochemical model parameters: the maximum rate of carboxylation (V-c(max)) and the maximum rate of electron transport (J(max)). Both of the parameters were optimized without assumptions about their mutual magnitude. The values obtained for the biochemical model parameters were similar at all the sites during summer time. To describe seasonality, different temperature fits were made for the spring, summer and autumn periods. During summer, average Jmax across the sites was 54.0 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) (variance 31.2 mu mol m(-2) s(-1)) and V-c(max) was 12.0 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) (variance 6.6 mu mol m(-2) s(-1)) at 17 degrees C. The sensitivity of the model to LAI and atmospheric soil water stress was also studied. The impact of seasonality on annual GPP was 17% when only summertime parameterization was used throughout the year compared to seasonally changing parameterizations. (Less)
