| Abstract: |
| 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.

| Method Step: |
| Description: |
| 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. 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. 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.
Water table fluctuations were monitored at the sights with groundwater wells installed
~ 1 m below baseflow water table. Wells were constructed of 5 cm inner diameter PVC
pipe with approximately 1 m screen lengths. Automated pressure transducers were deployed
to measure water table elevations at 30-minute intervals.
