Integrating functional diversity, food web processes, and biogeochemical carbon fluxes into a conceptual approach for modeling the upper ocean in a high-CO2 world [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Marine food webs influence climate by channeling carbon below the permanent pycnocline, where it can be sequestered. Because most of the organic matter exported from the euphotic zone is remineralized within the "upper ocean" (i.e., the water column ...

Diurnal pattern and characteristic of soil respiration and net ecosystem carbon exchange in alpine meadow ecosystem on the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Analyzing the diurnal pattern of soil respiration is essential for understanding the potential mechanisms of carbon cycle. Additionally, long-term and high temporal frequency soil respiration observations are crucial and valuable at different time scales,

Partitioning of ecosystem respiration in a paludified shallow-peat spruce forest in the southern taiga of European Russia

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2013
Soil, tree stems, and ecosystem carbon dioxide fluxes were measured by chambers and eddy covariance methods in a paludified shallow-peat spruce forest in the southern taiga of European Russia (Tver region, 56° N 33° E) during the growing seasons of 2002 ...

Asymmetric warming significantly affects net primary production, but not ecosystem carbon balances of forest and grassland ecosystems in northern China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We combine the process-based ecosystem model (Biome-BGC) with climate change-scenarios based on both RegCM3 model outputs and historic observed trends to quantify differential effects of symmetric and asymmetric warming on ecosystem net primary ...

Divergent apparent temperature sensitivity of terrestrial ecosystem respiration [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Plant Ecology, 2014
Aims Recent studies revealed convergent temperature sensitivity of ecosystem respiration (Re) within aquatic ecosystems and between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. We do not know yet whether various terrestrial ecosystems have consistent or divergent temperature sensitivity.

Upscaling fluxes from towers to regions, continents and global scales using datadriven approaches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Quantifying the current carbon cycle of terrestrial ecosystems requires that we translate spatially sparse measurements into consistent, gridded flux estimates at the regional scale.

Predicting plankton net community production in the Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We present, test and implement two contrasting models to predict euphotic zone net community production (NCP), which are based on 14C primary production (PO14CP) to NCP relationships over two latitudinal (ca.

Predicting the effects of climate change on water yield and forest production in the northeastern United States [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Rapid and simultaneous changes in temperature, precipitation and the atmospheric concentration of CO2 are predicted to occur over the next century. Simple, well-validated models of ecosystem function are required to predict the effects of these changes ...

Partitioning of ecosystem respiration in a beech forest [PDF]

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2018
Abstract Terrestrial ecosystem respiration (Reco) represents a major component of the global carbon cycle. It consists of many sub-components, such as aboveground plant respiration and belowground root and microbial respiration, each of which may respond differently to abiotic factors, and thus to global climate change.
