ABSTRACT: Aerodynamic measurements of CO2 (F) and latent heat (lE) exchange were made in an intensively managed peat pasture during 2 consecutive years; the fetch was approximately 1.5 km. Surface
conductance (gs) was calculated from the Penman-Monteith equation. F was split into a respiratory CO2 flux (Fr) and an assimilatory CO2 flux (Fa). Fr was
non-linearly related to air temperature (Ta), revealing a distinct seasonal pattern in its value normalized to Ta. Fa was hyperbolically related to short-wave irradiance, the seasonal pattern of its
maximum value compared to that of normalized Fr. Ta proved to be a major factor: Fa tended to maintain a positive response to Ta over much of the actual Ta range.
Aerial vapour pressure deficit (D) was generally too low (<1 kPa) to have an effect on Fa.
KEY WORDS: Aerodynamic technique · CO2 exchange · Assimilatory flux · Respiratory flux · Surface conductance · Pasture · Grassland
