Emerging negative impact of warming on summer carbon uptake in northern ecosystems

Nature Communications, 2018
The impacts of climate change on summer carbon cycling in the northern hemisphere remain poorly resolved. Here the authors use atmospheric CO2 records from Point Barrow (Alaska) to show that summer CO2 drawdown is significantly negatively correlated with

Discrepant trends in global land-surface and air temperatures controlled by vegetation biophysical feedbacks

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Satellite-based land surface temperature (Ts) with continuous global coverage is increasingly used as a complementary measure for air temperature (Ta), yet whether they observe similar temporal trends remains unknown. Here, we systematically analyzed the
