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

The allocation of ecosystem net primary productivity in tropical forests [PDF]
The allocation of the net primary productivity (NPP) of an ecosystem between canopy, woody tissue and fine roots is an important descriptor of the functioning of that ecosystem, and an important feature to correctly represent in terrestrial ecosystem models.

How climate and habitat drive variation in aquatic metabolism in wetlands remains uncertain. To quantify differences in seasonal aquatic metabolism among wetlands, we estimated aquatic ecosystem metabolism (gross primary productivity, GPP; ecosystem ...

Understanding the effect of disturbance from selective felling on the carbon dynamics of a managed woodland by combining observations with model predictions [PDF]
The response of forests and terrestrial ecosystems to disturbance is an important process in the global carbon cycle in the context of a changing climate.

Net ecosystem productivity and its uncertainty in a diverse boreal peatland [PDF]
Net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO2 was measured in four peatlands along plant community, hydrologic, and water chemistry gradients from bog to rich fen in a diverse peatland complex near Thompson, Manitoba, as part of the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere ...

Upside-down fluxes Down Under: CO2 net sink in winter and net source in summer in a temperate evergreen broadleaf forest [PDF]
Predicting the seasonal dynamics of ecosystem carbon fluxes is challenging in broadleaved evergreen forests because of their moderate climates and subtle changes in canopy phenology.

NET ECOSYSTEM PRODUCTIVITY STUDIES IN MANGROVE FORESTS
The carbon dynamics of forest ecosystems are particularly significant to the phenomenon of global warming. Mangrove forests situated between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems show unique patterns of biomass allocation and carbon dynamics, as they are subjected to daily tidal inundations and a mixture of seawater and fresh water.

Water use efficiency of China\u27s terrestrial ecosystems and responses to drought [PDF]
Water use efficiency (WUE) measures the trade-off between carbon gain and water loss of terrestrial ecosystems, and better understanding its dynamics and controlling factors is essential for predicting ecosystem responses to climate change.

Influence of Spring and Autumn Phenological Transitions on Forest Ecosystem Productivity [PDF]
We use eddy covariance measurements of net ecosystem productivity (NEP) from 21 FLUXNET sites (153 site-years of data) to investigate relationships between phenology and productivity (in terms of both NEP and gross ecosystem photosynthesis, GEP) in ...
