Journal ArticleDOI
Global climate change and terrestrial net primary production
Jerry M. Melillo,A. David McGuire,David W. Kicklighter,Berrien Moore,Charles J. Vörösmarty,Annette L. Schloss +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a process-based model was used to estimate global patterns of net primary production and soil nitrogen cycling for contemporary climate conditions and current atmospheric CO2 concentration, with most of the production attributable to tropical evergreen forest.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Global Carbon Cycle: A Test of Our Knowledge of Earth as a System
Paul G. Falkowski,Robert J. Scholes,Edward A. Boyle,Josep G. Canadell,Donald E. Canfield,James J. Elser,Nicolas Gruber,K. Hibbard,Peter Högberg,Sune Linder,Fred T. Mackenzie,Berrien Moore,Thomas F. Pedersen,Yair Rosenthal,Sybil P. Seitzinger,Victor Smetacek,Will Steffen +16 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that although natural processes can potentially slow the rate of increase in atmospheric CO2, there is no natural "savior" waiting to assimilate all the anthropogenically produced CO2 in the coming century.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent patterns and mechanisms of carbon exchange by terrestrial ecosystems
David S. Schimel,Joanna Isobel House,K. Hibbard,Philippe Bousquet,Philippe Ciais,Philippe Peylin,Bobby H. Braswell,Michael J. Apps,David Baker,Alberte Bondeau,Josep G. Canadell,Galina Churkina,Wolfgang Cramer,A. S. Denning,Christopher B. Field,Pierre Friedlingstein,Christine L. Goodale,Martin Heimann,Richard A. Houghton,Jerry M. Melillo,Berrien Moore,Daniel Murdiyarso,Ian R. Noble,Stephen W. Pacala,Iain Colin Prentice,Michael R. Raupach,Peter Rayner,Robert J. Scholes,Will Steffen,Christian Wirth +29 more
TL;DR: An overview of the current state of knowledge of global and regional patterns of carbon exchange by terrestrial ecosystems is provided, confirming that the terrestrial biosphere was largely neutral with respect to net carbon exchange during the 1980s, but became a net carbon sink in the 1990s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing global models of terrestrial net primary productivity (NPP): overview and key results
Wolfgang Cramer,David W. Kicklighter,Alberte Bondeau,Berrien Moore,Galina Churkina,Galina Churkina,B. Nemry,Anne Ruimy,Annette L. Schloss +8 more
TL;DR: A comparison of 17 global models of terrestrial biogeochemistry with respect to annual and seasonal fluxes of net primary productivity (NPP) for the land biosphere is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in the Carbon Content of Terrestrial Biota and Soils between 1860 and 1980: A Net Release of CO"2 to the Atmosphere
Richard A. Houghton,John E. Hobbie,Jerry M. Melillo,Berrien Moore,Bruce J. Peterson,Gaius R. Shaver,George M. Woodwell +6 more
TL;DR: According to this analysis, there has been a net release of carbon from terrestrial ecosystems worldwide since at least 1860 and the global carbon budget appears balanced if the low estimate for the biotic release ofcarbon given above is used with the higher estimates of oceanic uptake.
