Detecting evidence for CO2 fertilization from tree ring studies: The potential role of sampling biases (2012, background): “[2] Forests play a major role in the global carbon cycle as they are large carbon pools and take up and emit enormous amounts of CO2 annually [Bonan, 2008].”
Climate change, phenology, and phenological control of vegetation feedbacks to the climate system (2013, background): “Thus albedo plays a critical role in the surface energy budget and is a direct feedback of vegetation to the climate system (Pitman, 2003; Bala et al., 2007; Bonan, 2008).”
Effects of national ecological restoration projects on carbon sequestration in China from 2001 to 2010 (2018, background): “Additionally, a series of management practices employed under the framework of these ecological restoration projects, including afforestation, reforestation (Shelter Forests, Forest Protection, and Sand Control), forest enclosure and tending (Forest Protection and Sand Control), transforming croplan”
Vegetation anomalies caused by antecedent precipitation in most of the world (2017, background): “…the surface radiation budget (e.g. albedo, surface temperature, emission of volatile organic compounds), exchange of carbon dioxide with the © 2017 IOP Publishing Ltd atmosphere (i.e. photosynthesis, respiration), and influence on wind circulation (Bonan 2008, Mcpherson 2007, Teuling et al 2017).”
The Nitrogen Paradox in Tropical Forest Ecosystems (2009, background): “Tropical forests play a pivotal role in regulating Earth’s climate and biogeochemical cycles through their vast exchanges of energy, water, carbon, and nutrients with the global atmosphere (Bonan 2008, Brown & Lugo 1982, Cleveland et al. 1999, Field et al. 1998, Melillo et al. 1993).”
Land-use futures in the shared socio-economic pathways (2017, background): “…change, including mitigation, on both biogeochemical and biophysical processes (Pitman et al., 2009), as land use change not only affects CO2 concentrations (biogeochemical) but also albedo changes and evapotranspiration (biophysical) (Bonan, 2008; Jackson et al., 2008; Anderson et al., 2010).”
Stand age and soils as drivers of plant functional traits and aboveground biomass in secondary tropical dry forest (2014, background): “Tropical forests store more carbon than boreal or temperate forests and are central to our understanding of both the global carbon cycle and the climate system (Bonan 2008).”
Rising concentrations of atmospheric CO2 have increased growth in natural stands of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) (2009, background): “Forests cover approximately 30% of earth’s terrestrial surface and play critically important roles regulating local environmental and climatic conditions and sequestering greenhouse gases linked to global climate change (Bonan, 2008).”
