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)

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)

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

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 Anthony 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)

Contrasting downed woody debris dynamics in managed and unmanaged northern hardwood stands

Mark C. Vanderwel, Hilary C. Thorpe, Jennifer L. Shuter, John P. Caspersen, Sean C. Thomas
2008

The reported effects of selection silviculture on downed woody debris (DWD) vary. To investigate the processes underlying potential management impacts on DWD stocks and fluxes, we conducted a… (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)

Allometric equations for integrating remote sensing imagery into forest monitoring programmes.

Tommaso Jucker, John Caspersen, +31 authors David Anthony Coomes
Global change biology
2017

Remote sensing is revolutionizing the way we study forests, and recent technological advances mean we are now able - for the first time - to identify and measure the crown dimensions of individual… (More)

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

Mark C. Vanderwel, David Anthony 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)

Demographic controls of aboveground forest biomass across North America.

Mark C. Vanderwel, Hongcheng Zeng, John P. Caspersen, Georges Kunstler, Jeremy W. Lichstein
Ecology letters
2016

Ecologists have limited understanding of how geographic variation in forest biomass arises from differences in growth and mortality at continental to global scales. Using forest inventories from… (More)
