Carbon allocation plays a critical role in forest ecosystem carbon cycling. We reviewed
existing literature and compiled annual carbon budgets for forest ecosystems to test a series …

Patterns of both above-and belowground biomass and production were evaluated using
published information from 200 individual data-sets. Data sets were comprised of the …

We review measured rates of soil respiration from terrestrial and wetland ecosystems to
define the annual global CO2 flux from soils, to identify uncertainties in the global flux …

Variation in soil temperature can account for most of the seasonal and diel variation in soil
CO2 efflux, but the temperature effect is not always consistent, and other factors such as soil …

We use semi‐mechanistic, empirically based statistical models to predict the spatial and
temporal patterns of global carbon dioxide emissions from terrestrial soils. Emissions …

The effect of soil water content on efflux of CO 2 from soils has been described by linear,
logarithmic, quadratic, and parabolic functions of soil water expressed as matric potential …

We used a climate‐driven regression model to develop spatially resolved estimates of soil‐
CO2 emissions from the terrestrial land surface for each month from January 1980 to …

Soil respiration is one of the largest and most important fluxes of carbon in terrestrial
ecosystems. While eddy covariance methods are becoming widely used to measure …

Carbon allocation to roots in forest ecosystems is estimated from published data on soil
respiration and litterfall. On a global scale, rates of in situ soil respiration and aboveground …

Soil‐surface CO2 efflux and its spatial and temporal variations were examined in an 8‐y‐old
ponderosa pine plantation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California from June 1998 to …
