Tree species composition is a primary attribute of forest ecosystems, and is often
manipulated by silvicultural practices. Forest management to diversify tree species is now …

Influence of several tree traits on rainfall partitioning in temperate and boreal forests: a review
Page 1 Ann. For. Sci. 66 (2009) 602 Available online at: c INRA, EDP Sciences, 2009 …

Abstract Background and Aims Many individual studies have shown that the timing of leaf
senescence in boreal and temperate deciduous forests in the northern hemisphere is …

The measured net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO2 between the ecosystem and the
atmosphere reflects the balance between gross CO2 assimilation [gross primary production …

Extreme climatic events, such as droughts and heat stress, induce anomalies in ecosystem–
atmosphere CO 2 fluxes, such as gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration …

The simulation of gross primary production (GPP) at various spatial and temporal scales
remains a major challenge for quantifying the global carbon cycle. We developed a light use …

Terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP) varies greatly over time and space. A better
understanding of this variability is necessary for more accurate predictions of the future …

The quantitative simulation of gross primary production (GPP) at various spatial and
temporal scales has been a major challenge in quantifying the global carbon cycle. We …

On vegetation-covered land surfaces, tree transpiration, compared to soil and canopy
evaporation, is a major process that sends large amounts of water back to the atmosphere …

It is often claimed that evapotranspiration from urban trees can mitigate the urban heat
island and adapt our cities to climate change; however, the relative effectiveness of different …
