Carbon Dioxide and the Photosynthesis of Field Crops. A Tracer Examination of Turbulent Transfer Theory1

L. A. Harper, J. E. Box, Jr., D. N. Baker and J. D. Hesketh2

Carbon dioxide was released at ground level in a cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) field, and the flux above the crop was measured. The aerodynamic and energy balance methods of calculating carbon dioxide flux underestimated the measured flux by approximately the same amounts. There was considerable variability in the difference between measured and calculated fluxes, and little correlation with meteorological parameters could be found. Differences between measured and calculated fluxes were slightly less with wind orientation across the rows than with orientation parallel to the rows.

Key Words: Microclimate • Energy balance • Aerodynamic • Flux • Cotton
