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: It is shown that the temporal dynamics following stand-replacing disturbances do indeed account for a very large fraction of the overall variability in forest carbon sequestration, and that mankind is ultimately controlling the carbon balance of temperate and boreal forests.

TL;DR: The FLUXNET2015 dataset provides ecosystem-scale data on CO 2 , water, and energy exchange between the biosphere and the atmosphere, and other meteorological and biological measurements, from 212 sites around the globe, and is detailed in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the 2003 heatwave on the European biosphere's productivity and carbon balance was analyzed using the EOS-MODIS sensor data and ecosystem modelling, showing that the drop in productivity was not primarily caused by high temperatures but rather by limitation of water.

TL;DR: Soussana et al. as discussed by the authors presented a full accounting of the greenhouse gas (CO2, N2O, CH4) budget of nine European grassland sites.
