Near-surface soil thermal regime and land–air temperature coupling: A case study over Spain

Abstract Understanding the near-surface soil thermal regime and its connection to the atmospheric state is important for the assessment of several climate-related processes. However, the lack of in situ soil temperatures measurements limits the …

Plants, Microorganisms, and Soil Temperatures Contribute to a Decrease in Methane Fluxes on a Drained Arctic Floodplain

As surface temperatures are expected to rise in the future, ice-rich permafrost may thaw, altering soil topography and hydrology and creating a mosaic of wet and dry soil surfaces in the Arctic. Arctic wetlands are large sources of CH4, and …

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 …
