Effects of vegetation structure on biomass accumulation in a Balanced Optimality Structure Vegetation Model (BOSVM v1.0) [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2014 A myriad of interactions exist between vegetation and local climate for arid and semi-arid regions. Vegetation function, structure and individual behavior have large impacts on carbon–water–energy balances, which consequently influence local ...

Geoderma, 2023 The importance of forest floor plants (herbs and mosses) and understory communities on soil C dynamics has been grossly understudied in forest ecosystems; however, there is currently very little knowledge on the impact of forest floor vegetation composition on soil organic C (SOC) accumulation and the microbial metabolic processes.

Microbial carbon use efficiency promotes global soil carbon storage
Nature, 2023 A deep learning and data-driven modelling study finds that microbial carbon use efficiency is a major determinant of soil organic carbon storage and its spatial variation across the globe. Soils store more carbon than other terrestrial ecosystems^ 1 , 2 .

Water use efficiency of China\u27s terrestrial ecosystems and responses to drought [PDF]
, 2015 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.

Global patterns, trends, and drivers of water use efficiency from 2000 to 2013 [PDF]
, 2015 Water use efficiency (WUE; gross primary production [GPP]/evapotranspiration [ET]) estimates the tradeoff between carbon gain and water loss during photosynthesis and is an important link of the carbon and water cycles.

Polish Journal of Environmental Studies, 2023 Solidago canadensis , considered one of the most destructive invasive species of the 21 st century, has inflicted severe ecological damage globally. Nevertheless, the precise mechanisms through which nitrogen deposition impacts the metabolism of soil ...

The design of a Space-borne multispectral canopy LiDAR to estimate global carbon stock and gross primary productivity [PDF]
, 2011 Understanding the dynamics of the global carbon cycle is one of the most challenging issues for the scientific community. The ability to measure the magnitude of terrestrial carbon sinks as well as monitoring the short and long term changes is vital for ...

Upscaling carbon fluxes from towers to the regional scale: Influence of parameter variability and land cover representation on regional flux estimates [PDF]
, 2011 Quantifying the current carbon cycle of terrestrial ecosystems requires that we translate spatially sparse measurements into consistent, gridded flux estimates at the regional scale.
