Seasonal variation in net ecosystem CO2 exchange of a Brazilian seasonally dry tropical forest
Forest ecosystems sequester large amounts of atmospheric CO2, and the contribution from seasonally dry tropical forests is not negligible. Thus, the objective of this study was to quantify and evaluate the seasonal and annual patterns of CO2 exchanges in

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

Seasonal patterns and controls on net ecosystem CO2 exchange in a boreal peatland complex [PDF]
We measured seasonal patterns of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO2 in a diverse peatland complex underlain by discontinuous permafrost in northern Manitoba, Canada, as part of the Boreal Ecosystems Atmosphere Study (BOREAS).

Complex responses of spring vegetation growth to climate in a moisture-limited alpine meadow. [PDF]
Since 2000, the phenology has advanced in some years and at some locations on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, whereas it has been delayed in others. To understand the variations in spring vegetation growth in response to climate, we conducted both regional ...

Carbon uptake in Eurasian boreal forests dominates the high‐latitude net ecosystem carbon budget
Arctic‐boreal landscapes are experiencing profound warming, along with changes in ecosystem moisture status and disturbance from fire. This region is of global importance in terms of carbon feedbacks to climate, yet the sign (sink or source) and ...
