Diagnosing phosphorus limitations in natural terrestrial ecosystems in carbon cycle models
Most of the Earth System Models (ESMs) project increases in net primary productivity (NPP) and terrestrial carbon (C) storage during the 21st century. Despite empirical evidence that limited availability of phosphorus (P) may limit the response of NPP to increasing atmospheric CO2, none of the ESMs used in the previous Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment accounted for P limitat...
متن کاملThe Terrestrial Carbon Cycle: Managing Forest Ecosystems
The accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere due to fossil fuel use, deforestation and other anthropogenic sources is changing the global climate (Harries et al. 2001; IPCC 2002). Current understanding of the global carbon cycle suggests that managing forests and agricultural lands to increase the sequestration of greenhouse gases (GHG) provide credible policy options (Dixon and Turner 1991, Winju...
متن کاملObserving terrestrial ecosystems and the carbon cycle from space.
Terrestrial ecosystem and carbon cycle feedbacks will significantly impact future climate, but their responses are highly uncertain. Models and tipping point analyses suggest the tropics and arctic/boreal zone carbon-climate feedbacks could be disproportionately large. In situ observations in those regions are sparse, resulting in high uncertainties in carbon fluxes and fluxes. Key parameters c...
متن کاملConvergence of microbial assimilations of soil carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur in terrestrial ecosystems
How soil microbes assimilate carbon-C, nitrogen-N, phosphorus-P, and sulfur-S is fundamental for understanding nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. We compiled a global database of C, N, P, and S concentrations in soils and microbes and developed relationships between them by using a power function model. The C:N:P:S was estimated to be 287:17:1:0.8 for soils, and 42:6:1:0.4 for microbes...
متن کاملTerrestrial Carbon Cycle Variability
A growing literature is reporting on how the terrestrial carbon cycle is experiencing year-to-year variability because of climate anomalies and trends caused by global change. As CO 2 concentration records in the atmosphere exceed 50 years and as satellite records reach over 30 years in length, we are becoming better able to address carbon cycle variability and trends. Here we review how variab...
