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.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results of an exhaustive literature search of partitioning studies and analyse global trends in flux partitioning between biomes and ecosystem types by means of a metaanalysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the mechanisms of this observed enhanced respiration fluxes and partition of the soil CO 2 sources and found that the enhancement of heterotrophic respiration is likely due to the degradation of easily decomposable substrates, accumulated in soils during the dry period.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of changing precipitation regimes on above-ground net primary production (ANPP) and soil C dynamics, specifically plant-derived C input to soil and soil respiration (SR), were investigated.

TL;DR: It is suggested that, at high fertility sites, plant N demand interacts with soil C:N stoichiometry and microbial activity, resulting in higher allocation of C to above ground tree biomass with increasing soil C-N ratio, which can promote tree growth and ecosystem C sink allocation in aboveground biomass.
