• Coldness and dry air drive contrasting WUE responses to dryness (EF) via GEP changes. Greater impact from than ET on meadow under high soil moisture. T/ET had logarithmic relation with LAI, negative linear dryness. The future climate change predicts higher drought risks in deteriorating the functions services of dryland ecosystems. Interpreting sensitivity ecosystem water use efficiency (WUE)...

since renaissance, the natural ecosystems have fallen into a complete state ofdisarray due to the rise in the amount of carbon dioxide. soil, the unsparing stuff, is one of themajor sources of carbon storage, and plays a paramount role in the global equilibrium ofcarbon as well as carbon sequestration. given that iran is benefiting from vast steppes, therate of carbon sequestration in them dese...

Grassland ecosystems play a critical role in regulating CO2 fluxes into and out of the Earth's surface. Whereas previous studies have often addressed single fluxes of CO2 separately, few have addressed the relation among and controls of multiple CO2 sub-fluxes simultaneously. In this study, we examined the relation among and controls of individual CO2 fluxes (i.e., GEP, NEP, SR, ER, CR) in thre...

Eflani district of the Karabük province selected as study area is located Western Black Sea Region. Three field excursions have been made in different seasons between October 2017 to April 2019 area. Bryophyte specimens were collected from 30 habitats and ecosystems such steppes, forests, riparian, farmlands, wetlands etc. vegetation. Approximately 500 collected, examined under stereo light mic...
