    Notes: We present the energy and mass balance of cerrado sensu stricto (a Brazilian form of savanna), in which a mixture of shrubs, trees and grasses forms a vegetation with a leaf area index of 1·0 in the wet season and 0·4 in the dry season. In the wet season the available energy was equally dissipated between sensible heat and evaporation, but in the dry season at high irradiance the sensible heat greatly exceeded evaporation. Ecosystem surface conductance gs in the wet season rose abruptly to 0·3 mol m−2 s−1 and fell gradually as the day progressed. Much of the total variation in gs was associated with variation in the leaf-to-air vapour pressure deficit of water and the solar irradiance. In the dry season the maximal gs values were only 0·1 mol m−2 s−1. Maximal net ecosystem fluxes of CO2 in the wet and dry season were –10 and –15 μmol CO2 m−2 s−1, respectively (sign convention: negative denotes fluxes from atmosphere to vegetation). The canopy was well coupled to the atmosphere, and there was rarely a significant build-up of respiratory CO2 during the night. For observations in the wet season, the vegetation was a carbon dioxide sink, of maximal strength 0·15 mol m−2 d−1. However, it was a source of carbon dioxide for a brief period at the height of the dry season. Leaf carbon isotopic composition showed all the grasses except for one species to be C4, and all the palms and woody plants to be C3. The CO2 coming from the soil had an isotopic composition that suggested 40% of it was of C4 origin.

    Notes: [Auszug] FRANCEY REPLIES-Freyer suggests that the Tasmanian 13C/12C tree-ring results1 do not constitute grounds for doubting the interpretation of his own (mostly Northern Hemisphere) data2, in terms of global atmospheric CO2 behaviour. In my view the Tasmanian 13C/12C records are only one of several ...

    Notes: [Auszug] The galactic radio spectrum at these frequencies is usually explained as synchrotron emission from cosmic ray electrons in the galactic magnetic field. A differential electron energy spectrum of the form dne dtf0^-1 (2) will give rise20 to a radio spectrum as in equation (1) with ? = m-1 / ...

    Notes: [Auszug] Five-year blocks were taken from two King Billy pines (Arthrotaxis selaginoides D. Don) which grew within 200m of each other in natural forest in mountains of northern Tasmania (Fig. 1). A total of 71 separate burns were made on the 25 5-yr blocks of one tree and the CO2 from each burn analysed at ...

    Notes: [Auszug] SIR-The tree-ring 13C/12C ratio has been used as an indicator of historic climate and/or atmospheric composition despite the difficulties in interpreting the results due to other competing effects. Stuiver and Braziunas' have reported a (5!3C gradient in 1850 tree ring cellulose (from conifers). ...

    Notes: [Auszug] We employ a simplified version of the global carbon and 13C budgets developed by Tans et al.4, to explore changes in d(δ13C)/ d/, where t is time. The budget relies on the fact7 that the product of total carbon and its isotopic ratio (Cxδ13C) is a conservative quantity in the ...

    Notes: [Auszug] Freyer's statement requires qualification. There is evidence2,4,7,9 of a levelling or an increase in 13C/12C ratios after 1940, moreover the period before 1860 is poorly sampled, thus the statistical significance of a modern trend over several decades is difficult to assess. The Freyer's conclusion ...
