Journal ArticleDOI
The dominant role of semi-arid ecosystems in the trend and variability of the land CO2 sink
Anders Ahlström,Anders Ahlström,Michael R. Raupach,Guy Schurgers,Benjamin Smith,Almut Arneth,Martin Jung,Markus Reichstein,Josep G. Canadell,Pierre Friedlingstein,Atul K. Jain,Etsushi Kato,Benjamin Poulter,Stephen Sitch,Benjamin D. Stocker,Benjamin D. Stocker,Nicolas Viovy,Ying-Ping Wang,Andy Wiltshire,Soenke Zaehle,Ning Zeng +20 more
TL;DR: Using an ensemble of ecosystem and land-surface models and an empirical observation-based product of global gross primary production, it is shown that the mean sink, trend, and interannual variability in CO2 uptake by terrestrial ecosystems are dominated by distinct biogeographic regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of terrestrial carbon cycle models for their response to climate variability and to CO2 trends.
Shilong Piao,Shilong Piao,Stephen Sitch,Philippe Ciais,Pierre Friedlingstein,Philippe Peylin,Xuhui Wang,Anders Ahlström,Alessandro Anav,Josep G. Canadell,Nan Cong,Chris Huntingford,Martin Jung,Samuel Levis,Peter Levy,Junsheng Li,Xin Lin,Mark R. Lomas,Meng Lu,Yiqi Luo,Yuecun Ma,Ranga B. Myneni,Ben Poulter,Zhenzhong Sun,Tao Wang,Nicolas Viovy,Soenke Zaehle,Ning Zeng +27 more
TL;DR: Carbon-nitrogen interactions significantly influence the simulated response of carbon cycle to temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentration, suggesting that nutrients limitations should be included in the next generation of terrestrial biosphere models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for a weakening relationship between interannual temperature variability and northern vegetation activity
Shilong Piao,Shilong Piao,Huijuan Nan,Chris Huntingford,Philippe Ciais,Pierre Friedlingstein,Stephen Sitch,Shushi Peng,Shushi Peng,Anders Ahlström,Josep G. Canadell,Nan Cong,Samuel Levis,Peter Levy,Lingli Liu,Mark R. Lomas,Jiafu Mao,Ranga B. Myneni,Philippe Peylin,Ben Poulter,Xiaoying Shi,Guodong Yin,Nicolas Viovy,Tao Wang,Tao Wang,Xuhui Wang,Soenke Zaehle,Ning Zeng,Zhenzhong Zeng,Anping Chen +29 more
TL;DR: The strength of the relationship between the interannual variability of growing season NDVI and temperature (partial correlation coefficient RNDVI-GT) declined substantially between 1982 and 2011 and is mainly observed in temperate and arctic ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of 11 terrestrial carbon–nitrogen cycle models against observations from two temperate Free‐Air CO2 Enrichment studies
Soenke Zaehle,Belinda E. Medlyn,Martin G. De Kauwe,Anthony P. Walker,Michael Dietze,Thomas Hickler,Yiqi Luo,Ying-Ping Wang,Bassil El-Masri,Peter E. Thornton,Atul K. Jain,Shusen Wang,David Wårlind,Ensheng Weng,William J. Parton,Colleen M. Iversen,Anne Gallet-Budynek,Anne Gallet-Budynek,Heather R. McCarthy,Adrien C. Finzi,Paul J. Hanson,I. Colin Prentice,I. Colin Prentice,Ram Oren,Ram Oren,Richard J. Norby +25 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that improved representation of above-ground–below-ground interactions and better constraints on plant stoichiometry are important for a predictive understanding of eCO2 effects and improved accuracy of soil organic matter inventories is pivotal to reduce uncertainty in the observed C–N budgets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forest water use and water use efficiency at elevated CO2: a model‐data intercomparison at two contrasting temperate forest FACE sites
Martin G. De Kauwe,Belinda E. Medlyn,Soenke Zaehle,Anthony P. Walker,Michael Dietze,Thomas Hickler,Atul K. Jain,Yiqi Luo,William J. Parton,I. Colin Prentice,Benjamin Smith,Peter E. Thornton,Shusen Wang,Ying-Ping Wang,David Wårlind,Ensheng Weng,Kristine Y. Crous,David S. Ellsworth,Paul J. Hanson,Hyun-Seok Kim,Jeffrey M. Warren,Ram Oren,Ram Oren,Richard J. Norby +23 more
TL;DR: An intercomparison of 11 ecosystem models applied to data from two forest free-air CO2 enrichment experiments at Duke University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory yields a framework for analysing and interpreting model predictions of transpiration responses to eCO2, and highlights key improvements to these types of models.
