  • Observing system needs for understanding carbon–climate feedbacks

    Open AccessDustin Carroll, N Parazoo et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Carbon–climate (CC) feedbacks — arising from response of land and ocean carbon sinks to elevated CO 2 and climate warming — are critical yet highly uncertain drivers of Earth’s climate trajectory. Processes such as permafrost thaw, tropical forest dieback, reduced ocean uptake, and intensifying climate extremes are already weakening natural carbon sinks, with potential to amplify warming and accelerate crossing of tipping points. Detecting and qu…

  • Tipping point in North American Arctic-Boreal carbon sink persists in new generation Earth system models despite reduced uncertainty

    Open AccessRenato K Braghiere, Joshua B Fisher et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Estimating the impacts of climate change on the global carbon cycle relies on projections from Earth system models (ESMs). While ESMs currently project large warming in the high northern latitudes, the magnitude and sign of the future carbon balance of Arctic-Boreal ecosystems are highly uncertain. The new generation of increased complexity ESMs in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report (IPCC AR6) is intended to imp…

  • Towards mapping the diversity of canopy structure from space with Gedi

    Open AccessFabian Schneider, António Ferraz et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Plant biodiversity supports life on Earth and provides a range of important ecosystem services, but is under severe pressure by global change. Structural diversity plays a crucial role for carbon, water and energy cycles and animal habitats. However, it is very difficult to map and monitor over large areas, limiting our ability to assess the status of biodiversity and predict change. NASA’s Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) provides …

  • Detecting drought impact on terrestrial biosphere carbon fluxes over contiguous US with satellite observations

    Open AccessJunjie Liu, K W Bowman et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    With projections of increasing drought in the future, understanding how the natural carbon cycle responds to drought events is needed to predict the fate of the land carbon sink and future atmospheric CO _2 concentrations and climate. We quantified the impacts of the 2011 and 2012 droughts on terrestrial ecosystem carbon uptake anomalies over the contiguous US (CONUS) relative to non-drought years during 2010–2015 using satellite observations and…

  • Shifting relative importance of climatic constraints on land surface phenology

    Open AccessIrene Garonna, Rogier de Jong et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Land surface phenology (LSP), the study of seasonal dynamics of vegetated land surfaces from remote sensing, is a key indicator of global change, that both responds to and influences weather and climate. The effects of climatic changes on LSP depend on the relative importance of climatic constraints in specific regions—which are not well understood at global scale. Understanding the climatic constraints that underlie LSP is crucial for explaining…

  • Analysis, Integration and Modeling of the Earth System (Aimes)

    Open AccessDavid Schimel, Kathy Hibbard et al.ARTICLEAnthropocene2015Citada por: 7Referências: 29

    The IGBP Analysis, Integration and Modeling of the Earth System (AIMES) project has developed the notion of Earth System Science (ESS). ESS studies how the planet operates as a coupled system of interacting components, which produce emergent behaviors over and beyond the dynamics of the individual components. Many climate models used in the IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5) include representations of the physical climate system and the biologica…

  • Sustainability or Collapse

    R Costanza, Lisa J Graumlich et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2007Citada por: 33Referências: 2

    Understanding the history of how humans have interacted with the rest of nature can help clarify the options for managing our increasingly interconnected global system. Simple, deterministic relationships between environmental stress and social change are inadequate. Extreme drought, for instance, triggered both social collapse and ingenious management of water through irrigation. Human responses to change, in turn, feed into climate and ecologic…
