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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Forest ecosystem changes from annual methane source to sink depending on late summer water balance [PDF]
Forests dominate the global carbon cycle, but their role in methane (CH4) biogeochemistry remains uncertain. We analyzed whole-ecosystem CH4 fluxes from 2 years, obtained over a lowland evergreen forest in Maine, USA.
