BACKGROUND Forest dynamics arise from the interplay of chronic drivers and transient
disturbances with the demographic processes of recruitment, growth, and mortality. The …

Quantifying ecosystem carbon fluxes and stocks is essential for better understanding the
global carbon cycle and improving projections of the carbon-climate feedbacks. Remote …

Extreme wildfires are becoming more common and increasingly affecting Earth's climate.
Wildfires in boreal forests have attracted much less attention than those in tropical forests …

ES 6: 3-5 Replace “It is unequivocal that emissions of the well-mixed greenhouse gases
(GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2 O) from human activities …

Amazonia hosts the Earth's largest tropical forests and has been shown to be an important
carbon sink over recent decades,–. This carbon sink seems to be in decline, however, as a …

The enhanced vegetation productivity driven by increased concentrations of carbon dioxide
(CO2)[ie, the CO2 fertilization effect (CFE)] sustains an important negative feedback on …

Spatial–temporal dynamics of aboveground biomass (AGB) and forest area affect the carbon
cycle, climate and biodiversity in the Brazilian Amazon. Here we investigate interannual …

Satellites have detected a global decline in burned area of grassland, coincident with a
small increase in burned forest area. These contrasting trends have been reported in earlier …

For decades, the dynamic nature of chlorophyll a fluorescence (ChlaF) has provided insight
into the biophysics and ecophysiology of the light reactions of photosynthesis from the …

Extreme weather and climate events have direct impacts on ecosystems and can further
trigger ecosystem disturbances, often having impacts that last longer than the event's …
