Assessing Vegetation Recovery and Carbon Dynamics in Eucalyptus regnans Forests Following the 2009 Black Saturday Wildfire: Implications for Disaster Risk Reduction
The escalating frequency and intensity of wildfires globally necessitate a deeper understanding of ecosystem carbon dynamics post‐disturbance. This study utilizes a valuable pre‐ and postfire eddy‐covariance dataset from the AU‐Wac site to quantify the recovery of net ecosystem CO 2 exchange (NEE) in a carbon‐dense Eucalyptus regnans forest following the catastrophic 2009 Black Saturday wildfire. Our findings, derived from Bayesian additive regre…
Biophysical response of a coastal woodland to extreme water deficit during a year of record-breaking heat
Global terrestrial and ocean surface temperatures continue to reach record levels, resulting in heat waves, drought, and prolonged heat stress experienced by vegetation in many regions. In 2023–2024, coastal terrestrial ecosystems in Western Australia were particularly affected, experiencing their driest and hottest summer since observations began in the early 1900s. Banksia woodlands are a threatened ecological community in this region that are …
Stomatal response to decreased relative humidity constrains the acceleration of terrestrial evapotranspiration
Terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) is thermodynamically expected to increase with increasing atmospheric temperature; however, the actual constraints on the intensification of ET remain uncertain due to a lack of direct observations. Based on the FLUXNET2015 Dataset, we found that relative humidity (RH) is a more important driver of ET than temperature. While actual ET decrease at reduced RH, potential ET increases, consistently with the complem…
Inferring CO 2 fertilization effect based on global monitoring land-atmosphere exchange with a theoretical model
Rising atmospheric CO 2 concentration ([CO 2 ]) enhances photosynthesis and reduces transpiration at the leaf, ecosystem, and global scale via the CO 2 fertilization effect. The CO 2 fertilization effect is among the most important processes for predicting the terrestrial carbon budget and future climate, yet it has been elusive to quantify. For evaluating the CO 2 fertilization effect on land photosynthesis and transpiration, we developed a tech…
Tropical Savanna Ecosystems
The structure, composition, and distribution of savannas are largely controlled by water and nutrient availability, radiation, and temperature, which are then modified by disturbance (mainly fire) and longer‐term climate change. Changes in these environmental factors can modify the carbon balance of savanna ecosystems. Modeling studies have shown that future increases in CO 2 concentration, air temperature, and mean annual precipitation could pot…
Intrinsic climate dependency of ecosystem light and water-use-efficiencies across Australian biomes
The sensitivity of ecosystem gross primary production (GPP) to availability of water and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) differs among biomes. Here we investigated variations of ecosystem light-use-efficiency (eLUE: GPP/PAR) and water-use-efficiency (eWUE: GPP/ evapotranspiration) among seven Australian eddy covariance sites with differing annual precipitation, species composition and temperature. Changes to both eLUE and eWUE were prim…
Watering our cities: The capacity for Water Sensitive Urban Design to support urban cooling and improve human thermal comfort in the Australian context
Urban drainage infrastructure is generally designed to rapidly export stormwater away from the urban environment to minimize flood risk created by extensive impervious surface cover. This deficit is resolved by importing high-quality potable water for irrigation. However, cities and towns at times face water restrictions in response to drought and water scarcity. This can exacerbate heating and drying, and promote the development of unfavourable …
Impacts of an extreme cyclone event on landscape-scale savanna fire, productivity and greenhouse gas emissions
n \t\t\tNorth Australian tropical savanna accounts for 12% of the world's total savanna land cover. Accordingly, understanding processes that govern carbon, water and energy exchange within this biome is critical to global carbon and water budgeting. Climate and disturbances drive ecosystem carbon dynamics. Savanna ecosystems of the coastal and sub-coastal of north Australia experience a unique combination of climatic extremes and are in a state …
Climate control of terrestrial carbon exchange across biomes and continents
Understanding the relationships between climate and carbon exchange by terrestrial ecosystems \nis critical to predict future levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide because of the potential \naccelerating effects of positive climate–carbon cycle feedbacks. However, directly observed \nrelationships between climate and terrestrial CO2 exchange with the atmosphere across biomes \nand continents are lacking. Here we present data describing the relatio…

Application of Problem Based Learning through Research Investigation
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching technique that uses problem-solving as the basis for student learning. The technique is student-centred with teachers taking the role of a facilitator. Its general aims are to construct a knowledge base, develop problem-solving skills, teach effective collaboration and provide the skills necessary to be a successful lifelong learner. This study evaluates the application of PBL in an undergraduate Earth S…
Role of Land-Surface Changes in Arctic Summer Warming
A major challenge in predicting Earth's future climate state is to understand feedbacks that alter greenhouse-gas forcing. Here we synthesize field data from arctic Alaska, showing that terrestrial changes in summer albedo contribute substantially to recent high-latitude warming trends. Pronounced terrestrial summer warming in arctic Alaska correlates with a lengthening of the snow-free season that has increased atmospheric heating locally by abo…
