TL;DR: In this paper, carbon pools and fluxes of Siberian and European forests (600 and 300 million ha, respectively) were investigated based on review and original data, and the productivity of ecosystems, expressed as positive rate when the amount of carbon in the ecosystem increases, while (following micrometeorological convention) downward fluxes from the atmosphere to the vegetation (NEE) are expressed as negative numbers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the net CO2 exchange (NEE) over ecosystems differing in land use (forest and agriculture) in Thuringia, Germany, and found that large contrasts were found in NEE rates between the land uses of the ecosystems.

TL;DR: In this article, the variability of tree-ring width, wood density and 13C/12C in beech tree rings (Fagus sylvatica L.), and analyzed the influence of climatic variables and carbohydrate storage on these parameters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reconstruct the history of tree growth and quantify the standing biomass along a chronosequence of six Norway spruce stands (Picea abies [L] Karst; 16-142 years old) on acid soils in a mountainous region with high nitrogen deposition.

TL;DR: Stem growth alone is not a sufficient proxy for total biomass production or the control of carbon sequestration by weather extremes, and only in mast years a short-term carbon shortage may occur in spring.
