- Coupling between the terrestrial carbon and water cycles—a review (2019, methodology): “(Poulter et al 2014, Ahlström et al 2015, Zhang et al 2016) Current ESMs display a quite strong degree of correlation between photosynthesis and soil moisture (figure 2 and figure S1, available online at stacks.iop. org/ERL/14/083003/mmedia) as assessed using the monthly correlation between GPP and…”
- Asymmetric sensitivity of ecosystem carbon and water processes in response to precipitation change in a semi‐arid steppe (2017, background): “Recent studies have revealed that most of the variability and uncertainty arise from semi-arid ecosystems (Poulter et al. 2014; Ahlstr€om et al. 2015).”
- Compensatory water effects link yearly global land CO2 sink changes to temperature (2017, methodology): “2a–d) we calculated a large covariance matrix of all grid cells versus all grid cells for each NEE climatic component (annual anomalies multiplied with grid cell area), where the elements of this covariance matrix ( ) ci j , COMP were calculated according to equation (4):”
- Grasslands may be more reliable carbon sinks than forests in California (2018, background): “Recent studies show that the trend and interannual variability of terrestrial CO2 uptake are dominated by the response of semi-arid vegetation to precipitation and temperature (Ahlström et al 2015).”
- Role of forest regrowth in global carbon sink dynamics (2019, background): “From a climate-change perspective, recent work also suggests that increases in growing season length due to climate change may also be limited by moisture availability (35), but CO2-driven increases in water-use efficiency may compensate this (36).”
