Global variability in leaf respiration in relation to climate, plant functional types and leaf traits.

Owen K Atkin, Keith J. Bloomfield, +60 authors Joana Zaragoza-Castells
The New phytologist
2015

Leaf dark respiration (Rdark ) is an important yet poorly quantified component of the global carbon cycle. Given this, we analyzed a new global database of Rdark and associated leaf traits. Data for… (More)

The climate dependence of the terrestrial carbon cycle , including parameter and structural uncertainties

M. J. Smith, Drew Purves, Mark C. Vanderwel, Vassily Lyutsarev, Sue Emmott

The feedback between climate and the terrestrial carbon cycle will be a key determinant of the dynamics of the Earth System (the thin layer that contains and supports life) over the coming decades… (More)

Wood production response to climate change will depend critically on forest composition and structure.

David A. Coomes, Olivier Flores, Robert J. Holdaway, Tommaso Jucker, Emily R. Lines, Mark C. Vanderwel
Global change biology
2014

Established forests currently function as a major carbon sink, sequestering as woody biomass about 26% of global fossil fuel emissions. Whether forests continue to act as a global sink will depend on… (More)

How Stand Productivity Results from Size- and Competition-Dependent Growth and Mortality

John P. Caspersen, Mark C. Vanderwel, William G. Cole, Drew Purves
PloS one
2011

BACKGROUND A better understanding of the relationship between stand structure and productivity is required for the development of: a) scalable models that can accurately predict growth and yield… (More)

Plant functional traits have globally consistent effects on competition.

Georges Kunstler, Daniel S Falster, +33 authors Mark Westoby
Nature
2016

Phenotypic traits and their associated trade-offs have been shown to have globally consistent effects on individual plant physiological functions, but how these effects scale up to influence… (More)

Methods to estimate aboveground wood productivity from long-term forest inventory plots

J. A. Talbot, Simon L. Lewis, +17 authors Oliver L Phillips
2014

Forest inventory plots are widely used to estimate biomass carbon storage and its change over time. While there has been much debate and exploration of the analytical methods for calculating biomass,… (More)

Changing How Earth System Modeling Is Done to Provide More Useful Information for Decision Making, Science, and Society

AFFILIATIONS: SMith, PurveS, lyutSarev, JoPPa, biShoP, anD eMMott—Microsoft Research, Cambridge, United Kingdom; PalMer—Microsoft Research, Cambridge, and School of GeoSciences, University of… (More)

Quantifying variation in forest disturbance, and its effects on aboveground biomass dynamics, across the eastern United States

Mark C. Vanderwel, David A. Coomes, Drew Purves
Global change biology
2013

The role of tree mortality in the global carbon balance is complicated by strong spatial and temporal heterogeneity that arises from the stochastic nature of carbon loss through disturbance.… (More)

Global convergence in leaf respiration from estimates of thermal acclimation across time and space.

Mark C. Vanderwel, Martijn Slot, +6 authors Kaoru Kitajima
The New phytologist
2015

Recent compilations of experimental and observational data have documented global temperature-dependent patterns of variation in leaf dark respiration (R), but it remains unclear whether local… (More)

A meta-analysis of bird responses to uniform partial harvesting across North America.

Mark C. Vanderwel, Jay R. Malcolm, Stephen C. Mills
Conservation biology : the journal of the Society…
2007

Most data on the effects of partial-harvest silviculture (where live trees are purposely retained at the time of harvest) on birds come from one or a few discrete harvesting treatments. It is thus… (More)
