Compound soil and atmospheric drought events and CO2 fluxes of a mixed deciduous forest: Occurrence, impact, and temporal contribution of main drivers
(2024)EGUsphereWith global warming, forests are facing an increased exposure to compound soil and atmospheric drought (CSAD) events, characterized by low soil water content (SWC) and high vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Such CSAD events trigger responses in both ecosystem and forest floor CO2 fluxes, of which we know little about. In this study, we used multi-year daily and daytime above canopy (18 years; 2005–2022) and daily forest floor (five years; ...Working Paper -
Effect of the 2022 summer drought across forest types in Europe
(2024)EGUsphereForests in Europe experienced record-breaking dry conditions during the 2022 summer. The direction in which various forest types respond to climate extremes during their growing season is contingent upon an array of internal and external factors. These factors include the extent and severity of the extreme conditions and the tree ecophysiological characteristics adapted to environmental cues, which exhibit significant regional variations. ...Working Paper -
X-BASE: the first terrestrial carbon and water flux products from an extended data-driven scaling framework, FLUXCOM-X
(2024)EGUsphereMapping in-situ eddy covariance measurements of terrestrial land-atmosphere fluxes to the globe is a key method for diagnosing the Earth system from a data-driven perspective. We describe the first global products (called X-BASE) from a newly implemented up-scaling framework, FLUXCOM-X. The X-BASE products comprise of estimates of CO2 net ecosystem exchange (NEE), gross primary productivity (GPP) as well as evapotranspiration (ET) and, ...Working Paper -
Divergent responses of evergreen needle-leaf forests in Europe to the 2020 warm winter
(2024)EGUsphereRelative to drought and heat waves, the effect of winter warming on forest CO2 fluxes during the dormant season has less been investigated, despite its relevance for net CO2 uptake in colder regions with higher carbon content in soils. Our objective was to test the effect of the exceptionally warm winter in 2020 on the winter CO2 budget of cold-adapted evergreen needle-leaf forests across Europe, and identify the contribution of soil and ...Working Paper
