Climate Summary For: Northeast Region Part of a Series on the Resource Regions of British Columbia

British Columbia’s climate exhibits large variations over short distances, due to complex topography. Long-term historical trends show warming, more rapid for night-time low temperatures than daytime highs and more rapid in winter than summer. Precipitation trends are less certain due to data limitations and also exhibit increases, except in the winter season when large variability results in t...

Climate and atmospheric drivers of historical terrestrial carbon uptake in the province of British Columbia, Canada

The impacts of climate change and increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration on the terrestrial uptake of carbon dioxide since 1860 in the Canadian province of British Columbia are estimated using the process-based Canadian Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (CTEM). Model simulations show that these two factors yield an enhanced carbon uptake of around 44 gC m−2 yr−1 (or equivalently 63 gC m−2 yr−1 over...
