Temperate and boreal forest ecosystems contain a large part of the carbon stored on land, in
the form of both biomass and soil organic matter. Increasing atmospheric [CO2], increasing …

Evaporation from wet canopies (E) can return up to half of incident rainfall back into the
atmosphere and is a major cause of the difference in water use between forests and short …

With the eddy covariance (EC) technique, net fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and other
trace gases as well as water and energy fluxes can be measured at the ecosystem level …

Arctic‐boreal landscapes are experiencing profound warming, along with changes in
ecosystem moisture status and disturbance from fire. This region is of global importance in …

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

Published eddy covariance measurements of carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange between
vegetation and the atmosphere from a global network are distilled, synthesised and …

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 …

We investigated the seasonal patterns of Amazonian forest photosynthetic activity, and the
effects thereon of variations in climate and land-use, by integrating data from a network of …

Accurately simulating gross primary productivity (GPP) in terrestrial ecosystem models is
critical because errors in simulated GPP propagate through the model to introduce …

The global land surface absorbs about a third of anthropogenic emissions each year, due to
the difference between two key processes: ecosystem photosynthesis and respiration …
