Abstract:
Carbon flux attributed to the boreal forest biome significantly impacts the global carbon cycle. The multi-scale Boreal Ecosystem Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) was initiated to investigate exchanges between boreal forests and the atmosphere, to examine the effects of increased atmospheric CO(2) concentration on boreal forests, to develop and improve process models to describe exchanges between boreal forests and the atmosphere, and to develop methods for the large-scale application of these models. Field measurements have shown that boreal ecosystems differ significantly from their temperate and tropical counterparts with respect to seasonality, productivity and biosphere-atmosphere interactions.

Bending and Torsional Moments
The reaction developed in a structural element when subjected to an external force causes the element to bend. When a structural element bends upwards, it creates compressive normal forces on the top and tensile normal forces on the bottom, resulting in a couple that determines the bending...
