Variability in the Net Ecosystem Productivity (NEP) of Seaweed Farms
The important role of vegetated ecosystems in the sequestration of carbon has gained strong interest across a wide variety of disciplines. With evidence growing of the potential for macroalgae ecosystems to capture carbon, there is burgeoning interest in

Trends of Aboveground Net Primary Productivity of Patagonian Meadows, the Omitted Ecosystem in Desertification Studies [PDF]
The United Nations defines desertification as the loss of productivity in arid and semiarid environments. The extended steppes of Patagonia harbor small meadows whose compounded area is comparatively small, but their aboveground net primary production ...

Spatial variations in terrestrial net ecosystem productivity and its local indicators [PDF]
Multiple lines of evidence have demonstrated the persistence of global land carbon (C) sink during the past several decades. However, both annual net ecosystem productivity (NEP) and its inter-annual variation (IAVNEP) keep varying over space.

Drivers of carbon flux in drip irrigation maize fields in northwest China
Background Under the escalating threat to sustainable development from the global increase in carbon dioxide concentrations, the variations in carbon flux in the farmland ecosystem and their influencing factors have attracted global attention.

Thermal adaptation of net ecosystem exchange [PDF]
Thermal adaptation of gross primary production and ecosystem respiration has been well documented over broad thermal gradients. However, no study has examined their interaction as a function of temperature, i.e.

Longer growing seasons do not increase net carbon uptake in Northeastern Siberian tundra [PDF]
With global warming, snowmelt is occurring earlier and growing seasons are becoming longer around the Arctic. It has been suggested that this would lead to more uptake of carbon due to a lengthening of the period in which plants photosynthesize.

Plant photosynthesis and productivity on Earth in the high Carbon Dioxide 21st century [PDF]
Understanding how plant productivity responds to CO2 is crucial to understanding Earth System dynamics and therefore, predicting the Earth System’s response to anthropogenic forcing of atmospheric CO2.

Evidence for strong seasonality in the carbon storage and carbon use efficiency of an Amazonian forest [PDF]
The relative contribution of gross primary production and ecosystem respiration to seasonal changes in the net carbon flux of tropical forests remains poorly quantified by both modelling and field studies.

Seasonality in CO2 and H2O flux at an Eastern Amazonian Rain Forest [PDF]
Previous studies of CO2 fluxes in Amazonia have suggested seasonal variation in net ecosystem exchange. We find little evidence of this seasonality at a new site in eastern Amazonia, despite the expectation that this site would be particularly sensitive ...
