Uncertainty in the global oceanic CO2 uptake induced by wind forcing: quantification and spatial analysis [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2018 The calculation of the air–water CO2 exchange (FCO2) in the ocean not only depends on the gradient in CO2 partial pressure at the air–water interface but also on the parameterization of the gas exchange transfer velocity (k) and the choice of wind ...

Interannual sea–air CO2 flux variability from an observation-driven ocean mixed-layer scheme [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 Interannual anomalies in the sea–air carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange have been estimated from surface-ocean CO2 partial pressure measurements. Available data are sufficient to constrain these anomalies in large parts of the tropical and North Pacific and ...

Trend analysis of the airborne fraction and sink rate of anthropogenically released CO2 [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2019 Is the fraction of anthropogenically released CO2 that remains in the atmosphere (the airborne fraction) increasing? Is the rate at which the ocean and land sinks take up CO2 from the atmosphere decreasing?

N2O changes from the Last Glacial Maximum to the preindustrial – Part 2: terrestrial N2O emissions and carbon–nitrogen cycle interactions [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2020 Carbon–nitrogen (C–N) interactions regulate N availability for plant growth and for emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) and the uptake of carbon dioxide.

Nitrous oxide dynamics in low oxygen regions of the Pacific: insights from the MEMENTO database [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 The eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) is believed to be one of the largest marine sources of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O). Future N<sub>2</sub>O emissions from the ETP are highly uncertain because oxygen minimum ...

Factors challenging our ability to detect long-term trends in ocean chlorophyll [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 Global climate change is expected to affect the ocean's biological productivity. The most comprehensive information available about the global distribution of contemporary ocean primary productivity is derived from satellite data.

Influence of timing of sea ice retreat on phytoplankton size during marginal ice zone bloom period on the Chukchi and Bering shelves [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2016 The size structure and biomass of a phytoplankton community during the spring bloom period can affect the energy use of higher-trophic-level organisms through the predator–prey body size relationships. The timing of the sea ice retreat (TSR) also plays a

Climate, CO2 and human population impacts on global wildfire emissions [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2016 Wildfires are by far the largest contributor to global biomass burning and constitute a large global source of atmospheric traces gases and aerosols. Such emissions have a considerable impact on air quality and constitute a major health hazard.

Urban planning and climate change in Ghana
Journal of Urban Management, 2019 Urban planning is commonly blamed for its failure to exert a positive influence on managing climate change impacts in urban Africa; yet little is known about planning agencies' perspectives on climate change-urban planning conundrum, and corresponding ...

Environmental factors influencing benthic communities in the oxygen minimum zones on the Angolan and Namibian margins [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2019 Thriving benthic communities were observed in the oxygen minimum zones along the southwestern African margin. On the Namibian margin, fossil cold-water coral mounds were overgrown by sponges and bryozoans, while the Angolan margin was characterized by ...
