Biosphere-atmosphere exchange of CO2 in relation to climate: A cross-biome anal...
Stoy, Paul C.; Richardson, Andrew D.; Baldocchi, Dennis D.; Katul, Gabriel George; Stanovick, John S.; Mahecha, Miguel D.; Reichstein, MarkusThe net ecosystem exchange of CO2 (NEE) varies at time scales from seconds to years and longer via the response of its components, gross ecosystem productivity (GEP) and ecosystem respiration (RE), to physical and biological drivers. Quantifying the relationship between flux and climate at multiple time scales is necessary for a comprehensive understanding of the role of climate in the terrestrial carbon cycle....
Estimating aboveground biomass in tropical forests: Field methods and error ana...
Gonçalves, Fábio Guimarães; Treuhaft, Robert N.; Law, Beverly; Almeida, André Quintão; Walker, Wayne S.; Baccini, Alessandro; Santos, João Roberto dosMapping and monitoring of forest carbon stocks across large areas in the tropics will necessarily rely on remote sensing approaches, which in turn depend on field estimates of biomass for calibration and validation purposes. Here, we used field plot data collected in a tropical moist forest in the central Amazon to gain a better understanding of the uncertainty associated with plot-level biomass estimates obtai...
