TL;DR: The surprising consistency of response across diverse sites provides a benchmark to evaluate predictions of ecosystem and global models and allows us to focus on unresolved questions about carbon partitioning and retention, and spatial variation in NPP response caused by availability of other growth limiting resources.
Journal ArticleDOI
CO2 balance of boreal, temperate, and tropical forests derived from a global database

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive global database for forest ecosystems, which includes carbon budget variables (fluxes and stocks), ecosystem traits (e.g., leaf area index, age), as well as ancillary site information such as management regime, climate, and soil characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increases in nitrogen uptake rather than nitrogen-use efficiency support higher rates of temperate forest productivity under elevated CO2
Adrien C. Finzi,Richard J. Norby,Carlo Calfapietra,Anne Gallet-Budynek,Birgit Gielen,William E. Holmes,Marcel R. Hoosbeek,Colleen M. Iversen,Robert B. Jackson,Mark E. Kubiske,Joanne Ledford,Marion Liberloo,Ram Oren,Andrea Polle,Seth G. Pritchard,Donald R. Zak,William H. Schlesinger,Reinhart Ceulemans +17 more
TL;DR: Experimental evidence demonstrates that the uptake of N increased under elevated CO2 at the Rhinelander, Duke, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory FACE sites, yet fertilization studies showed that tree growth and forest NPP were strongly limited by N availability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phenotyping of lignin-modified tobacco reveals associated changes in cell-wall metabolism, primary metabolism, stress metabolism and photorespiration.
Rebecca Dauwe,Kris Morreel,Kris Morreel,Geert Goeminne,Geert Goeminne,Birgit Gielen,Antje Rohde,Antje Rohde,Jozef Van Beeumen,John Ralph,Alain-Michel Boudet,Joachim Kopka,Soizic F. Rochange,Claire Halpin,Eric Messens,Eric Messens,Wout Boerjan,Wout Boerjan +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of Cinnamoyl CoA reductase (CCR) and cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) on the transcriptome and metabolome of tobacco were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomass production in experimental grasslands of different species richness during three years of climate warming
H. De Boeck,C. M. H. M. Lemmens,Costanza Zavalloni,Birgit Gielen,Sandrine Malchair,Monique Carnol,Roel Merckx,J. Van den Berge,Reinhart Ceulemans,Ivan Nijs +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the single and combined impacts of climate warming and species richness on the biomass production in experimental grassland communities, and suggest that warming and the associated soil drying could reduce primary production in many temperate grasslands and that this will not necessarily be mitigated by efforts to maintain or increase species richness.
