A large and persistent carbon sink in the world's forests

Y Pan, RA Birdsey, J Fang, R Houghton, PE Kauppi… - science, 2011 - science.org
The terrestrial carbon sink has been large in recent decades, but its size and location remain
uncertain. Using forest inventory data and long-term ecosystem carbon studies, we estimate …

Patterns and drivers of recent disturbances across the temperate forest biome

A Sommerfeld, C Senf, B Buma, AW D'Amato… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Increasing evidence indicates that forest disturbances are changing in response to global
change, yet local variability in disturbance remains high. We quantified this considerable …

Global‐scale impacts of nitrogen deposition on tree carbon sequestration in tropical, temperate, and boreal forests: A meta‐analysis

L Schulte‐Uebbing, W de Vries - Global Change Biology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Elevated nitrogen (N) deposition may increase net primary productivity in N‐limited
terrestrial ecosystems and thus enhance the terrestrial carbon (C) sink. To assess the …

Drought timing and local climate determine the sensitivity of eastern temperate forests to drought

L D'Orangeville, J Maxwell, D Kneeshaw… - Global change …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Projected changes in temperature and drought regime are likely to reduce carbon (C)
storage in forests, thereby amplifying rates of climate change. While such reductions are …
