abstract = {Arable land occupies large areas of global land surface and
hence plays an important role in the terrestrial carbon
cycle. Therefore agro-ecosystems show a high potential of
mitigating greenhouse gas emissions while optimizing
agricultural management. Hence, there is a growing interest
in analyzing and understanding carbon fluxes from arable
land as affected by regional environmental as well as
management conditions. The major goal of this study is to
use a two year data set of eddy covariance measurements
(October 2007 to October 2009) on a winter wheat field
located in Western Germany to assess the seasonal and
inter-annual variability of carbon fluxes as affected by
meteorological variables and land management. During the
study period, which was comprised of two full growing
seasons, eddy covariance measurements together with
measurements of various soil, plant, and meteorological data
were performed. Flux partitioning and gap filling methods
including uncertainty estimates were applied to derive
complete time series of net ecosystem exchange (NEE), gross
primary production (GPP), and ecosystem respiration (R-eco).
Despite different management dates and slightly different
meteorological conditions, annual NEE resulted in 270 g C
m(-2) in both years. Although the period from sowing to
harvesting was more than 20 days shorter in the first year,
due to the later start of senescence, GPP was higher by 220
g C m(-2). In the annual carbon budget this was compensated
by a stronger heterotrophic respiration after the harvest of
sugar beet grown on the field before the study period.
Taking into account the carbon losses due to removal of
biomass during harvest, the winter wheat field acts as a
carbon source with respective net biome productivities (NBP)
of 246 and 201 g C m(-2) a(-1). To complete the carbon
balance, releases due to energy consumption associated with
crop production are taken into account. However, the
relatively large carbon loss was probably, to a large
extent, compensated by carbon input from plant residues left
on the field after preceding sugar beet harvest. This
underlines the importance of multi-annual measurements
taking full crop rotations into account. (C) 2012 Elsevier
