Table 2 Mean net carbon uptake period (CUP, days) and maximum rates of net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEEmax, g C m−2 day−1), gross primary production (GPPmax, g C m−2 day−1), and evapotranspiration (ETmax, mm day−1) with the standard deviation and coefficient of variation (CV) at ten forest sites

  1. NEEmax, GPPmax, and ETmax were calculated for each year first, then averaged over the study period. NEE data over the study period were averaged for the same date into a single composite year at each site to determine the CUP
