How Michaelis–Menten kinetics can represent ecosystem-scale respiration: Scale and applicability
How Michaelis–Menten kinetics can represent ecosystem-scale respiration: scale and applicability, Zhang, Qin, Yi, Chuixiang, Destouni, Georgia, Wohlfahrt, Georg, Kuzyakov, Yakov, Li, Runze, Kutter, Eric, Chen, Deliang, Rietkerk, Max, Tian, Zhenkun, Hendrey, George, Fang, Wei, Krakauer, Nir, Jarsjo, Jerker, Han, Jianxu, Xu, Shiguo
Earth system resilience and tipping behavior
Anthropogenic climate change, marked by unprecedented extremes, is an immediate concern. The Earth’s limited ability to adapt to abrupt changes within our societal timeframe has raised global alarm. Resilience, the capacity to withstand and recover from disturbances, diminishes as disturbances intensify. For avoiding potential catastrophic changes, it is crucial to identify tipping points, where a change in part of a system becomes self-perpetuat…
Satellite evidence of canopy-height dependence of forest drought resistance in southwestern China
The frequency and intensity of drought events are increasing with warming climate, which has resulted in worldwide forest mortality. Previous studies have reached a general consensus on the size-dependency of forest resistance to drought, but further understanding at a local scale remains ambiguous with conflicting evidence. In this study, we assessed the impact of canopy height on forest drought resistance in the broadleaf deciduous forest of so…
Tree mortality in a warming world: Causes, patterns, and implications
This ERL focus collection has published 17 papers that have advanced our understanding of different dimensions of warming-induced tree mortality. Here we summarize these focus collection papers, organized by four topics related to tree mortality: pathogens, droughts/heat waves, fire/bark beetles, and teleconnections/air pollution. This focus collection illustrates a variety of methods in measuring and modeling tree-mortality, and adds significant…
The forest recovery path after drought dependence on forest type and stock volume
Drought legacy effects of forest ecosystems have been widely observed. However, the influence of forest type and stock volume on its recovery path is poorly understood. In this research, we first used the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index to identify a drought event. Then, we applied the normalized difference vegetation index deficit and forest property maps derived from forest inventories to investigate the potential impacts of…
The stoichiometry of soil microbial biomass determines metabolic quotient of nitrogen mineralization
Soil nitrogen (N) mineralization is crucial for the sustainability of available soil N and hence ecosystem productivity and functioning. Metabolic quotient of N mineralization ( Q min ), which is defined as net soil N mineralization per unit of soil microbial biomass N, reflects the efficiency of soil N mineralization. However, it is far from clear how soil Q min changes and what are the controlling factors at the global scale. We compiled 871 ob…
Global soil acidification impacts on belowground processes
With continuous nitrogen (N) enrichment and sulfur (S) deposition, soil acidification has accelerated and become a global environmental issue. However, a full understanding of the general pattern of ecosystem belowground processes in response to soil acidification due to the impacting factors remains elusive. We conducted a meta-analysis of soil acidification impacts on belowground functions using 304 observations from 49 independent studies, mai…
Forest drought resistance distinguished by canopy height
How are the survival and growth of trees under severe drought affected by their size? While some studies have shown that large trees are more vulnerable to drought than smaller trees, others found that small trees are the more vulnerable. We explored the potential relationships between canopy height and forest responses to drought indicated by tree mortality, tree ring width index (RWI), and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in the so…
Impacts of Water Stress on Forest Recovery and Its Interaction with Canopy Height
Global climate change is leading to an increase in the frequency, intensity, and duration of drought events, which can affect the functioning of forest ecosystems. Because human activities such as afforestation and forest attributes such as canopy height may exhibit considerable spatial differences, such differences may alter the recovery paths of drought-impacted forests. To accurately assess how climate affects forest recovery, a quantitative e…
Focus on extreme events and the carbon cycle
Climate physics indicates that warming climate is a likely cause of extreme weather and more frequent and intense climate events. These extreme events can disrupt terrestrial carbon dynamics dramatically by triggering ecological disturbances and potentially forcing climate–carbon feedbacks. In this paper we synthesize the findings of 26 papers that focus on collecting evidence and developing knowledge of how extreme events disturb terrestrial car…
Tipping point of a conifer forest ecosystem under severe drought
Drought-induced tree mortality has recently received considerable attention. Questions have arisen over the necessary intensity and duration thresholds of droughts that are sufficient to trigger rapid forest declines. The values of such tipping points leading to forest declines due to drought are presently unknown. In this study, we have evaluated the potential relationship between the level of tree growth and concurrent drought conditions with d…
Data-based perfect-deficit approach to understanding climate extremes and forest carbon assimilation capacity
Several lines of evidence suggest that the warming climate plays a vital role in driving certain types of extreme weather. The impact of warming and of extreme weather on forest carbon assimilation capacity is poorly known. Filling this knowledge gap is critical towards understanding the amount of carbon that forests can hold. Here, we used a perfect-deficit approach to identify forest canopy photosynthetic capacity (CPC) deficits and analyze how…
Climate extremes and grassland potential productivity
The considerable interannual variability (IAV) (~5 PgC yr−1) observed in atmospheric CO2 is dominated by variability in terrestrial productivity. Among terrestrial ecosystems, grassland productivity IAV is greatest. Relationships between grassland productivity IAV and climate drivers are poorly explained by traditional multiple-regression approaches. We propose a novel method, the perfect-deficit approach, to identify climate drivers of grassland…
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…
