TL;DR: An increase in future drought events could turn temperate ecosystems into carbon sources, contributing to positive carbon-climate feedbacks already anticipated in the tropics and at high latitudes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented CO2 flux data from 18 forest ecosystems, studied in the European Union funded EUROFLUX project, and observed a significant correlation was observed between annual soil respiration (SR) and gross primary productivity (GPP) among the relatively undisturbed forests.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental micrometeorological set-up was established at the CARBOEURO-FLUX site in Tharandt, Germany, to measure all relevant variables for the calculation of the vertical and horizontal advective fluxes of carbon dioxide.

TL;DR: The ADVEX project as mentioned in this paper measured the [CO2] balance under night-time conditions, in an attempt to improve NEE estimates, and the results showed that horizontal advection varied greatly from site to site and from one wind sector to another, the highest values being reached when there were large friction velocities and fairly unstable conditions.

TL;DR: The Energy Balance Experiment (EBEX-2000) as discussed by the authors studied the ability of state-of-the-art measurements to close the surface energy balance over a surface (a vegetative canopy with large evapotranspiration) where closure has been difficult to obtain.
