Computer Simulation of Carbon Sequestration Potential in Forest Ecosystem
Computer simulation has been widely used in various fields of ecology with the cross-integration between the various disciplines. As the largest organic carbon (C) pool in terrestrial ecosystems, forest plays an important role in regulating the global C balance and mitigating the increase of atmospheric CO2 concentration. Combined with forest inventory data and literature, this study analyzed t...
متن کاملPotential climate change impacts on temperate forest ecosystem processes
Large changes in atmospheric CO2, temperature, and precipitation are predicted by 2100, yet the long-term consequences for carbon (C), water, and nitrogen (N) cycling in forests are poorly understood. We applied the PnET-CN ecosystem model to compare the long-term effects of changing climate and atmospheric CO2 on productivity, evapotranspiration, runoff, and net nitrogen mineralization in curr...
متن کاملIncreased sensitivity to climate change in disturbed ecosystems.
Human domination of the biosphere includes changes to disturbance regimes, which push many ecosystems towards early-successional states. Ecological theory predicts that early-successional ecosystems are more sensitive to perturbations than mature systems, but little evidence supports this relationship for the perturbation of climate change. Here we show that vegetation (abundance, species richn...
متن کاملA Working Framework for Quantifying Carbon Sequestration in Disturbed Land Mosaics
STEVE V. MATHER DAOLAN ZHENG Department of Earth, Ecological and Environmental Sciences University of Toledo Toledo, Ohio 43606, USA ABSTRACT / We propose a working framework for future studies of net carbon exchange (NCE) in disturbed landscapes at broad spatial scales based on the central idea that landscape-level NCE is determined by the land mosaic, including its age structure. Within this ...
متن کاملSoil carbon sequestration to mitigate climate change
The increase in atmospheric concentration of CO2 by 31% since 1750 from fossil fuel combustion and land use change necessitates identification of strategies for mitigating the threat of the attendant global warming. Since the industrial revolution, global emissions of carbon (C) are estimated at 270F 30 Pg (Pg = petagram= 10 g = 1 billion ton) due to fossil fuel combustion and 136F 55 Pg due to...
