Wind Regimes above and below a Temperate Deciduous Forest Canopy in Complex Terrain: Interactions between Slope and Valley Winds
TL;DR: In this paper, the wind regimes were investigated in a temperate deciduous forested valley at the Maoershan site, Northeast China, and significant lateral kinematic momentum fluxes were detected due to the directional shear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the CO 2 storage measurements with a single profile system in a tall-dense-canopy temperate forest
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the errors in F s relevant to the vertical distribution of sampling levels and window sizes of averaging time of CO 2 mixing ratio and their effects on NEE in a temperate deciduous forest site in Northeast China using the standardized major axis method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative simulation of C budgets in a forest in Heilongjiang province, China
TL;DR: The fluctuation in average net ecosystem production (NEP) was relatively large because Heilongjiang was a carbon source for many years before the 1930s and again in the early 21st century, due to serious disturbances and intensified human activities, and in 2013 the forests became a large carbon sink.

Journal ArticleDOI
‘Breathing’ of the terrestrial biosphere: lessons learned from a global network of carbon dioxide flux measurement systems
TL;DR: Key findings reported include: ecosystems with the greatest net carbon uptake have the longest growing season, not the greatest FA; many old-growth forests act as carbon sinks; and year-to-year decreases in FN are attributed to a suite of stresses that decrease FA and FR in tandem.

Tans,Colm Sweeney,Wouter Peters,Lori Bruhwiler,Philippe Ciais,Michel Ramonet,Philippe Bousquet,Takakiyo Nakazawa,Shuji Aoki,Toshinobu Machida,Gen Inoue,Nikolay K. Vinnichenko,Jon Lloyd,Armin Jordan,Martin Heimann,Olga Shibistova,Ray L. Langenfelds,L. Paul Steele,Roger J. Francey,A. Scott Denning +21 more
TL;DR: Measurements of midday vertical atmospheric CO2 distributions reveal annual-mean vertical CO2 gradients that are inconsistent with atmospheric models that estimate a large transfer of terrestrial carbon from tropical to northern latitudes, suggesting that northern terrestrial uptake of industrial CO2 emissions plays a smaller role than previously thought.

Regional Changes in Carbon Dioxide Fluxes of Land and Oceans Since 1980
Philippe Bousquet,Philippe Peylin,Philippe Ciais,Corinne Le Quéré,Pierre Friedlingstein,Pieter P. Tans +5 more
TL;DR: An inverse model to 20 years of atmospheric carbon dioxide measurements is applied to infer yearly changes in the regional carbon balance of oceans and continents and indicates that global terrestrial carbon fluxes were approximately twice as variable as ocean fluxes between 1980 and 1998.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of forest types in Northeastern China, using multi-temporal SPOT-4 VEGETATION sensor data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the potential of multi-temporal SPOT-4 VEGETATION (VGT) sensor data for characterization of temperate and boreal forests in Northeastern China.

TL;DR: In this article, a major international effort is proposed to coordinate and lead research programs of global scope of the carbon cycle, including terrestrial ecosystem, landscape, and regional scales, to understand terrestrial carbon metabolism at various spatial and temporal scales.
