Terrestrial Gross Carbon Dioxide Uptake: Global Distribution and Covariation with Climate
Christian Beer,Markus Reichstein,Enrico Tomelleri,Philippe Ciais,Martin Jung,Nuno Carvalhais,Christian Rödenbeck,M. Altaf Arain,Dennis D. Baldocchi,Gordon B. Bonan,Alberte Bondeau,Alessandro Cescatti,Gitta Lasslop,Anders Lindroth,Mark R. Lomas,Sebastiaan Luyssaert,Hank A. Margolis,Keith W. Oleson,Olivier Roupsard,Elmar Veenendaal,Nicolas Viovy,Christopher M. Williams,F. Ian Woodward,Dario Papale +23 more
TL;DR: Estimates of spatially distributed GPP and its covariation with climate can help improve coupled climate–carbon cycle process models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep learning and process understanding for data-driven Earth system science
Markus Reichstein,Gustau Camps-Valls,Bjorn Stevens,Martin Jung,Joachim Denzler,Nuno Carvalhais,Nuno Carvalhais,Prabhat +7 more
TL;DR: It is argued that contextual cues should be used as part of deep learning to gain further process understanding of Earth system science problems, improving the predictive ability of seasonal forecasting and modelling of long-range spatial connections across multiple timescales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global covariation of carbon turnover times with climate in terrestrial ecosystems
Nuno Carvalhais,Matthias Forkel,Myroslava Khomik,Jessica Bellarby,Martin Jung,Mirco Migliavacca,Mingquan Mu,Sassan Saatchi,Maurizio Santoro,Martin Thurner,Ulrich Weber,Bernhard Ahrens,Christian Beer,Alessandro Cescatti,James T. Randerson,Markus Reichstein +15 more
TL;DR: A global, spatially explicit and observation-based assessment of whole-ecosystem carbon turnover times that combines new estimates of vegetation and soil organic carbon stocks and fluxes finds that the overall mean global carbon turnover time is years (95 per cent confidence interval).
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Convergence in the Temperature Sensitivity of Respiration at Ecosystem Level
Miguel D. Mahecha,Markus Reichstein,Nuno Carvalhais,Gitta Lasslop,Holger Lange,Sonia I. Seneviratne,Rodrigo Vargas,Christof Ammann,M. Altaf Arain,Alessandro Cescatti,Ivan A. Janssens,Mirco Migliavacca,Leonardo Montagnani,Andrew D. Richardson +13 more
TL;DR: This work approximated the sensitivity of terrestrial ecosystem respiration to air temperature (Q10) across 60 FLUXNET sites with the use of a methodology that circumvents confounding effects, and suggests a less pronounced climate–carbon cycle feedback than suggested by current carbon cycle climate models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unexpectedly large impact of forest management and grazing on global vegetation biomass
Karl-Heinz Erb,Thomas Kastner,Christoph Plutzar,Christoph Plutzar,Anna Liza S. Bais,Nuno Carvalhais,Tamara Fetzel,Simone Gingrich,Helmut Haberl,Christian Lauk,Maria Niedertscheider,Julia Pongratz,Martin Thurner,Sebastiaan Luyssaert +13 more
TL;DR: It is shown, using state-of-the-art datasets, that vegetation currently stores around 450 petagrams of carbon, in the hypothetical absence of land use, which implies that trade-offs exist between conserving carbon stocks on managed land and raising the contribution of biomass to raw material and energy supply for the mitigation of climate change.
