Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) has become warmer and wetter, which has led to permafrost degradation, increased soil erosion and higher CO2 emissions from water bodies. There are ongoing debates on whether the TP will transition from a carbon sink to a source, but relevant analysis accounting for both terrestrial and aquatic carbon processes at the ...

Aspects of forest biomass in the earth system: Its role and major unknowns
Forests are a major and diverse land cover occupying a third of the terrestrial vegetated surface; they store 50 to 65% of terrestrial organic carbon (including the soil) and contribute half to terrestrial productivity. Forest biomass stores close to 80%

Intensifying Hydroclimate Whiplash From a 3D Perspective
Abstract Understanding the consecutive occurrence of hydroclimate whiplash (HCW) extremes is critical for assessing global climate risks. However, most studies have focused on individual points or pixel scales, which fails to reveal the joint evolution of the extreme events over space and time, leading to potential underestimation. Here, we investigate

Spatial representativeness and uncertainty of eddy covariance carbon flux measurements for upscaling net ecosystem productivity to the grid scale [PDF]
Eddy covariance (EC) measurements are often used to validate net ecosystem productivity (NEP) estimated from satellite remote sensing data and biogeochemical models.

Perspectives From Nature‐Based Solutions to Restore Soil and Ecosystems
ABSTRACT Over the past decade, research into nature‐based solutions (NBS) for protecting and restoring soil health and ecosystem functionality has notably increased. The close interrelationship between the effectiveness of NBS and soil health is increasingly emphasized in the relevant scientific literature. Nevertheless, soil quality monitoring remains

Extreme late-summer drought causes neutral annual carbon balance in southwestern ponderosa pine forests and grasslands [PDF]
We assessed the impacts of extreme late-summer drought on carbon balance in a semi-arid forest region in Arizona. To understand drought impacts over extremes of forest cover, we measured net ecosystem production (NEP), gross primary production (GPP), and

Net ecosystem productivity (NEP) is a crucial indicator of the carbon balance and health of an ecosystem. Until now, few studies have estimated the NEP of crops and analyzed it in space and time. The study of NEP in crops is crucial for comprehending the
