Climate effects on belowground tea litter decomposition depend on ecosystem and...
Trevathan-Tackett, Stacey M.; Kepfer-Rojas, Sebastian; Malerba, Martino; Macreadie, Peter I.; Djukic, Ika; Zhao, Junbin; Young, Erica B.; York, Paul H.Patchy global data on belowground litter decomposition dynamics limit our capacity to discern the drivers of carbon preservation and storage across inland and coastal wetlands. We performed a global, multiyear study in over 180 wetlands across 28 countries and 8 macroclimates using standardized litter as measures of "recalcitrant" (rooibos tea) and "labile" (green tea) organic matter (OM) decomposition. Freshwa...
Climate seasonality limits leaf carbon assimilation and wood productivity in tr...
Wagner, Fabien H.; Hérault, Bruno; Bonal, Damien; Stahl, Clément; Anderson, Liana Oighenstein; Baker, Timothy R.; Sebastian Becker, GabrielThe seasonal climate drivers of the carbon cycle in tropical forests remain poorly known, although these forests account for more carbon assimilation and storage than any other terrestrial ecosystem. Based on a unique combination of seasonal pan-tropical data sets from 89 experimental sites (68 include aboveground wood productivity measurements and 35 litter productivity measurements), their associated canopy p...
