| Abstract: |
| This study originated with the objective of parameterizing riparian evapotranspiration
(ET) in the water budget of the Middle Rio Grande. We hypothesized that flooding and
invasions of non-native species would strongly impact ecosystem water use. Our objectives
were to measure and compare water use of native (Rio Grande cottonwood, Populus deltoides
ssp. wizleni) and non-native (saltcedar, Tamarix chinensis, Russian olive, Eleagnus
angustifolia) vegetation and to evaluate how water use is affected by climatic variability
resulting in high river flows and flooding as well as drought conditions and deep
water tables. Eddy covariance flux towers to measure ET and shallow wells to monitor
water tables were instrumented in 1999. Active sites in their second decade of monitoring
include a xeroriparian, non-flooding salt cedar woodland within Sevilleta National
Wildlife Refuge and a dense, monotypic salt cedar stand at Bosque del Apache NWR,
which is subject to flood pulses associated with high river flows. This data set includes
the soil temperature and moisture data collected during this study.

| Description: |
| Methods: Three-dimensional eddy covariance: Measures fluxes of latent heat, sensible
heat, and momentum, integrated over an area such as a vegetation canopy. High frequency
measurements are made of vertical wind speed and water vapor, and their covariance
over thirty minutes is used to compute latent heat flux, the heat absorbed by evaporation,
from the canopy surface. Latent heat flux (LE) is converted to a direct measurement
of evapotranspiration (ET). Simultaneous, high frequency measurements of temperature
are used with vertical wind speed to compute the sensible heat flux (H), the heat
transfer due to vertical temperature gradients. Measuring net radiation (Rn) and ground
heat flux (G), allows the energy balance to be calculated (Rn = LE + H + G), providing
a self-check for accuracy and closure error.

| Method Step: |
| Description: |
| Sites: Two Rio Grande riparian locations in P. deltoides forests, two in T. chinensis
forests. In each forest type, one of the two sites is prone to flooding from elevated
Rio Grande flows, and the other site does not flood. A fifth site was located in a
mix of non-native Eleagnus angustifolia (Russian olive) and native Salix exigua (coyote
willow) prone to flooding.
|
|
|
|
| Method Step: |
| Description: |
| Design: Eddy covariance systems were mounted on towers in the turbulent surface layer
2-2.5 m above the canopy. Measurement period was 10 Hz and the covariance period was
30 minutes. Additional energy fluxes were made at 1 Hz and averaged over 30 minutes.
