Effects of Climate Extremes on the Terrestrial Carbon Cycle: Concepts, Processes, and Potential Future Impacts

March 2015
Dorothea Frank, Markus Reichstein, Michael Bahn, Kirsten Thonicke, David Frank, Miguel D. Mahecha, Pete Smith, Marijn van der Velde, Sara Vicca, Flurin Babst, Christian Beer, Nina Buchmann, Josep G. Canadell, Philippe Ciais, Wolfgang Cramer, Andreas Ibrom, Franco Miglietta, Ben Poulter, Anja Rammig, Sonia I. Seneviratne, Ariane Walz, Martin Wattenbach, Miguel A. Zavala, Jakob Zscheischler
Global Change Biology
This paper reviews the literature on carbon cycle relevant responses of ecosystems to extreme climatic events, finding that ecosystem responses can exceed the duration of the climate impacts via lagged effects on the carbon cycle. Read More →

Cusk (Brosme brosme) and Climate Change: Assessing the Threat to a Candidate Marine Fish Species Under the US Endangered Species Act

December 2012

Prolonged Suppression of Ecosystem Carbon Dioxide Uptake After an Anomalously Warm Year

September 2008
John A. Arnone III, Paul S. J. Verburg, Dale W. Johnson, Jessica D. Larsen, Richard L. Jasoni, Annmarie J. Lucchesi, Candace M. Batts, Christopher von Nagy, William G. Coulombe, David E. Schorran, Paul E. Buck, Bobby H. Braswell, James S. Coleman, Rebecca A. Sherry, Linda L. Wallace, Yiqi Luo, David S. Schimel
Nature
This study suggests that more frequent anomalously warm years, a possible consequence of increasing anthropogenic carbon dioxide levels, may lead to a sustained decrease in carbon dioxide uptake by terrestrial ecosystems.Read More →
