FLUXNET: A New Tool to Study the Temporal and Spatial Variability of Ecosystem-Scale Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor, and Energy Flux Densities
- D. Baldocchi, E. Falge, +24 authors S. Wofsy
- Physics, Environmental Science
- 9 June 2001
FLUXNET is a global network of micrometeorological flux measurement sites that measure the exchanges of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy between the biosphere and atmosphere. At present over… Expand
Climate Change, Deforestation, and the Fate of the Amazon
- Y. Malhi, J. Roberts, R. Betts, T. Killeen, W. Li, C. Nobre
- Geography, Medicine
- Science
- 11 January 2008
The forest biome of Amazonia is one of Earth's greatest biological treasures and a major component of the Earth system. This century, it faces the dual threats of deforestation and stress from… Expand
Spatial patterns and recent trends in the climate of tropical rainforest regions.
We present an analysis of the mean climate and climatic trends of tropical rainforest regions over the period 1960-1998, with the aid of explicit maps of forest cover and climatological databases.… Expand
Variation in wood density determines spatial patterns in Amazonian forest biomass
- T. Baker, O. Phillips, +15 authors R. V. Martinez
- Environmental Science
- 1 May 2004
Uncertainty in biomass estimates is one of the greatest limitations to models of carbon flux in tropical forests. Previous comparisons of field-based estimates of the aboveground biomass (AGB) of… Expand
The carbon balance of tropical, temperate and boreal forests
- Y. Malhi, D. Baldocchi, P. Jarvis
- Environmental Science
- 1 June 1999
Forest biomes are major reserves for terrestrial carbon, and major components of global primary productivity. The carbon balance of forests is determined by a number of component processes of carbon… Expand
Increasing carbon storage in intact African tropical forests
- S. Lewis, G. Lopez-Gonzalez, +30 authors H. Wöll
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Nature
- 19 February 2009
The response of terrestrial vegetation to a globally changing environment is central to predictions of future levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The role of tropical forests is critical because… Expand
Drought Sensitivity of the Amazon Rainforest
- O. Phillips, L. Aragão, +63 authors A. Torres-Lezama
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Science
- 6 March 2009
Amazon forests are a key but poorly understood component of the global carbon cycle. If, as anticipated, they dry this century, they might accelerate climate change through carbon losses and changed… Expand
CO2 Balance of Boreal, Temperate, and Tropical Forests Derived from a Global Database
- S. Luyssaert, I. Inglima, +62 authors I. Janssens
- Environmental Science
- 1 December 2007
Terrestrial ecosystems sequester 2.1 Pg of atmospheric carbon annually. A large amount of the terrestrial sink is realized by forests. However, considerable uncertainties remain regarding the fate of… Expand
Carbon dioxide transfer over a Central Amazonian rain forest
Tropical rain forests are among the most important and least monitored of terrestrial ecosystems. In recent years, their influence on atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and water vapor has… Expand
A Re-Evaluation of Long-Term Flux Measurement Techniques Part I: Averaging and Coordinate Rotation
- J. Finnigan, R. Clement, Y. Malhi, R. Leuning, H. Cleugh
- Physics
- 1 April 2003
Experience of long term flux measurements over tall canopiesduring the last two decades has revealed that the eddy flux of sensible plus latentheat is typically 30% smaller than the available radiant… Expand
