Refining Multi-Model Projections of Temperature Extremes by Evaluation against Land-Atmosphere Coupling Diagnostics

The Earth's land surface and the atmosphere are strongly interlinked through the exchange of energy and matter. This coupled behaviour causes various land-Atmosphere feedbacks, and an insufficient understanding of these feedbacks contributes to …

Response to Comment on "Global Convergence in the Temperature Sensitivity of Respiration at Ecosystem Level"

We estimated the sensitivity of terrestrial ecosystem respiration to air temperature across 60 FLUXNET sites by minimizing the effect of seasonally confounding factors. Graf et al. now offer a theoretical perspective for an extension of our …

Global Convergence in the Temperature Sensitivity of Respiration at Ecosystem Level

The respiratory release of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the land surface is a major flux in the global carbon cycle, antipodal to photosynthetic CO2 uptake. Understanding the sensitivity of respiratory processes to temperature is central for quantifying …
