Abstract

We used the eddy-correlation technique to investigate the exchange of C0₂ between an undisturbed old-growth forest and the atmosphere at a remote Southern Hemisphere site on 15 d between 1989 and 1990. Our goal was to determine how environmental factors regulate ecosystem CO₂ exchange, and to test whether present knowledge of leaf-level processes was sufficient to understand ecosystem-level exchange.
