CO2 balance of boreal, temperate, and tropical forests derived from a global database

Sebastiaan Luyssaert, +65 more
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.

Carbon–Concentration and Carbon–Climate Feedbacks in CMIP5 Earth System Models

TL;DR: In this paper, the magnitude and evolution of parameters that characterize feedbacks in the coupled carbon-climate system are compared across nine Earth system models (ESMs), based on results from biogeochemically, radiatively, and fully coupled simulations in which CO2 increases at a rate of 1% yr−1.

Terrestrial Carbon-Cycle Feedback to Climate Warming

TL;DR: The coupled carbon-climate models reported in the literature all demonstrate a positive feedback between terrestrial carbon cycles and climate warming, and the primary mechanism underlying the modeled positive feedback is the kinetic sensitivity of photosynthesis and respiration to temperature as mentioned in this paper.

The NCEP/NCAR 40-Year Reanalysis Project

TL;DR: The NCEP/NCAR 40-yr reanalysis uses a frozen state-of-the-art global data assimilation system and a database as complete as possible, except that the horizontal resolution is T62 (about 210 km) as discussed by the authors.

- 01 Jun 1994 - 
TL;DR: An empirical equation is presented which yields an unbiased estimator of respiration rates over a wide range of temperatures and provides representative estimates of the seasonal cycle of net ecosystem productivity and its effects on atmospheric CO 2.
