Reduction of Global Plant Production due to Droughts from 2001 to 2010: An Analysis with a Process-Based Global Terrestrial Ecosystem Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: roughts dramatically affect plant production of global terrestrial ecosystems. To date, quantification of this impact remains a challenge because of the complex plant physiological and biochemical processes associated with ...
Spatially Explicit Parameterization of a Terrestrial Ecosystem Model and Its Application to the Quantification of Carbon Dynamics of Forest Ecosystems in the Conterminous United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors use a spatially explicit parameterization method and the Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (TEM) to quantify the carbon dynamics of forest ecosystems in the conterminous United States. Six key parameters that govern ...
Intercomparison of Model-Estimated Potential Evapotranspiration on the Tibetan Plateau during 1981–2010
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractPotential evapotranspiration (PET), the maximum evapotranspiration rate under unlimited water supply, reflects the capacity for transpiration flow and plant primary production. Numerous models have been developed ...
Twentieth-Century Droughts and Their Impacts on Terrestrial Carbon Cycling in China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Midlatitude regions experienced frequent droughts during the twentieth century, but their impacts on terrestrial carbon balance are unclear. This paper presents a century-scale study of drought effects on the carbon balance ...
Recent Warming Has Resulted in Smaller Gains in Net Carbon Uptake in Northern High Latitudes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractCarbon balance of terrestrial ecosystems in the northern high latitudes (NHL) is sensitive to climate change. It remains uncertain whether current regional carbon uptake capacity can be sustained under future ...
