Sustained Three-Year Declines in Forest Soil Respiration are Proportional to Disturbance Severity
Soil respiration (Rs) is the largest outward flux of carbon (C) from terrestrial ecosystems, accounting for more than half of total temperate forest C loss. Evaluating the drivers of this globally important flux,...

Decadal forest soil respiration following stem girdling
Large-scale stem-girdling experiment reduced soil respiration for five consecutive years. Timing and magnitude of soil respiration declines are better explained by changes in leaf area rather t...

Article
Open AccessThe three major axes of terrestrial ecosystem function
The leaf economics spectrum1,2 and the global spectrum of plant forms and functions3 revealed fundamental axes of variation in plant traits, which represent different ecological strategies that are shaped by the ...

Temperature thresholds of ecosystem respiration at a global scale
Ecosystem respiration is a major component of the global terrestrial carbon cycle and is strongly influenced by temperature. The global extent of the temperature–ecosystem respiration relationship, however, ha...

Forest Structural Complexity and Biomass Predict First-Year Carbon Cycling Responses to Disturbance
The pre-disturbance vegetation characteristics that predict carbon (C) cycling responses to disturbance are not well known. To address this gap, we initiated the Forest Resilience Threshold Experiment, a manip...

Open AccessThe FLUXNET2015 dataset and the ONEFlux processing pipeline for eddy covariance data
The FLUXNET2015 dataset provides ecosystem-scale data on CO2, water, and energy exchange between the biosphere and the atmosphere, and other meteorological and biological measurements, from 212 sites around the g...

Publisher Correction: Contrasting responses of autumn-leaf senescence to daytime and night-time warming
In the version of this Letter originally published, the author Andrew T. Black was mistakenly denoted as being affiliated with the Institute of Geographical Sciences and Natural Resources Research. His affilia...

Author Correction: Contrasting responses of autumn-leaf senescence to daytime and night-time warming
In the version of this Letter originally published, there were errors in Fig. 1a. The sites denoted purple were described in the legend as ‘Pday>0.05 & Pnight>0.05’, but should have been labelled ‘Pday<0.05 & Pni...

Contrasting responses of autumn-leaf senescence to daytime and night-time warming
Plant phenology is a sensitive indicator of climate change1–4 and plays an important role in regulating carbon uptake by plants5–7. Previous studies have focused on spring leaf-out by daytime temperature and the ...

Effects of canopy structure and species diversity on primary production in upper Great Lakes forests
Canopy structure and tree species diversity, shaped by succession, disturbance, and community composition, are linked to numerous ecosystem functions, including net primary production (NPP). Understanding of h...

Globally rising soil heterotrophic respiration over recent decades
Global soils store at least twice as much carbon as Earth’s atmosphere1,2. The global soil-to-atmosphere (or total soil respiration, RS) carbon dioxide (CO2) flux is increasing3,4, but the degree to which climate...

Soil CO2 efflux in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations on the Virginia Piedmont and South Carolina Coastal Plain over a rotation-length chronosequence
We measured soil surface CO2 efflux (Fs) in loblolly pine stands (Pinus taeda L.) located on the Virginia Piedmont (VA) and South Carolina Coastal Plain (SC) in efforts to assess the impact climate, productivity,...
