Ecosystem heterogeneity determines the ecological resilience of the Amazon to c...
Levine, Naomi Marcil; Zhang, Ke; Longo, Marcos; Baccini, Alessandro; Phillips, Oliver L.; Lewis, Simon L.; Alvarez, EstebanAmazon forests, which store ∼50% of tropical forest carbon and play a vital role in global water, energy, and carbon cycling, are predicted to experience both longer and more intense dry seasons by the end of the 21st century. However, the climate sensitivity of this ecosystem remains uncertain: several studies have predicted large-scale dieback of the Amazon, whereas several more recent studies predict that th...
The Central Amazon Biomass Sink Under Current and Future Atmospheric CO2: Predi...
Holm, Jennifer A.; G, Knox, Ryan; Zhu, Qing; Fisher, Rosie A.; Koven, Charles D.; Nogueira Lima, Adriano J.; Riley, William J.; Longo, MarcosThere is large uncertainty whether Amazon forests will remain a carbon sink as atmospheric CO2 increases. Hence, we simulated an old-growth tropical forest using six versions of four terrestrial models differing in scale of vegetation structure and representation of biogeochemical (BGC) cycling, all driven with CO2 forcing from the preindustrial period to 2100. The models were benchmarked against tree inventory...
