dc.description.abstract <p>Crop canopy CO<sub>2</sub> exchange rate (CER) includes crop photosynthesis and soil/plant respiration. A portable canopy chamber is effective in determining crop CER values at a relatively small spatial (m<sup>2</sup>) scale. The objectives of this study were to use a canopy chamber to measure CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes in corn (<em>Zea mays</em> L.) and soybean [<em>Glycine max</em> (L.) Merr.]. Chamber measurements were performed for 18 and 15 d in 2013 and 2014, respectively. The canopy chamber measures instantaneous CER fluxes, and daily and daytime cumulative CO<sub>2</sub> values were calculated from the instantaneous CER. The chamber CER results were compared with nearby eddy covariance (EC) flux tower measurements at a variety of time scales, i.e., instantaneous, daily, and daytime cumulative (multiple months). The daily and daytime cumulative chamber CER values were within 5% of the EC results, providing evidence for the effectiveness of the portable canopy chamber method. In conclusion, the portable canopy chamber provides reliable CO<sub>2</sub> flux measurements despite the small size of field plots.</p>
