Abstract:
:In spite of the importance of respiration in forest carbon budgets, the mechanisms by which physiological factors control stem respiration are unclear. An experiment was set up in a Eucalyptus globulus plantation in central Portugal with monoculture stands of 5-year-old and 10-year-old trees. CO(2) efflux from stems under shaded and unshaded conditions, as well as the concentration of CO(2) dissolved in sap [CO(2)(*)], stem temperature, and sap flow were measured with the objective of improving our understanding of the factors controlling CO(2) release from stems of E. globulus. CO(2) efflux was consistently higher in 5-year-old, compared with 10-year-old, stems, averaging 3.4 versus 1.3 mumol m(-2) s(-1), respectively. Temperature and [CO(2)(*)] both had important, and similar, influences on the rate of CO(2) efflux from the stems, but neither explained the difference in the magnitude of CO(2) efflux between trees of different age and size. No relationship was found between efflux and sap flow, and efflux was independent of tree volume, suggesting the presence of substantial barriers to the diffusion of CO(2) from the xylem to the atmosphere in this species. The rate of corticular photosynthesis was the same in trees of both ages and only reduced CO(2) efflux by 7%, probably due to the low irradiance at the stem surface below the canopy. The younger trees were growing at a much faster rate than the older trees. The difference between CO(2) efflux from the younger and older stems appears to have resulted from a difference in growth respiration rather than a difference in the rate of diffusion of xylem-transported CO(2).
