Evapotranspiration Partitioning of the Populus euphratica Forest Ecosystem in the Drylands of Northwestern China

Plants
The comprehension of seasonal patterns of evapotranspiration (ET), as well as the interactive response to environmental factors, holds paramount importance for illuminating the intricate interaction within the carbon–water cycle of desert riparian forest

Peatlands and the carbon cycle: from local processes to global implications - a synthesis [PDF]

, 2008
Peatlands cover only 3% of the Earth's land surface but boreal and subarctic peatlands store about 15-30% of the world's soil carbon ( C) as peat. Despite their potential for large positive feedbacks to the climate system through sequestration and ...

EFFECTS OF LAND COVER, WATER REDISTRIBUTION, AND TEMPERATURE ON ECOSYSTEM PROCESSES IN THE SOUTH PLATTE BASIN [PDF]

, 1998
Over one‐third of the land area in the South Platte Basin of Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming, has been converted to croplands. Irrigated cropland now comprises 8% of the basin, while dry croplands make up 31%.

Impacts of Vegetation Ratio, Street Orientation, and Aspect Ratio on Thermal Comfort and Building Carbon Emissions in Cold Zones: A Case Study of Tianjin

Land
This research highlights that street layouts, including the vegetation ratio, street orientation, and aspect ratio, are key in diminishing urban heat islands (UHIs), building energy use, and carbon emissions.

The potential for storing carbon by harvested wood products

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Forest ecosystems are a critical component of the global carbon cycle, which stores carbon in both vegetation biomass and soil organic matter. Timber harvesting can laterally move the carbon stored in forest sectors to harvested wood products (HWPs) and ...

Influence of topography and moisture and nutrient availability on green alder function on the low arctic tundra, NT [PDF]

, 2017
The Arctic has warmed by at least 3°C over the past 50 years and this rapid warming is expected to continue. Climate warming is driving the proliferation of shrubs across the tundra biome with implications for energy balance, climate, hydrology, nutrient

Climate Change Will Reduce the Carbon Use Efficiency of Terrestrial Ecosystems on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau: An Analysis Based on Multiple Models

Forests, 2020
The carbon use efficiency (CUE) of ecosystems, expressed as the ratio of net primary production (NPP) and gross primary production (GPP), is extremely sensitive to climate change and has a great effect on the carbon cycles of terrestrial ecosystems ...
