Enhancing the terrestrial ecosystem carbon sink (referred to as terrestrial C sink) is an
important way to slow down the continuous increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) …

Life on Earth comes in many forms, but all life-forms share a common element in carbon. It is
the basic building block of biology, and by trapping radiation it also plays an important role …

Seagrass ecosystems contain globally significant organic carbon (C) stocks. However,
climate change and increasing frequency of extreme events threaten their preservation …

Extreme droughts, heat waves, frosts, precipitation, wind storms and other climate extremes
may impact the structure, composition and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, and thus …

This chapter addresses the biogeochemical cycles of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4),
and nitrous oxide (N2O). The three greenhouse gases have increased in the atmosphere …

The land and ocean act as a sink for fossil-fuel emissions, thereby slowing the rise of
atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. Although the uptake of carbon by oceanic and …

The land and ocean absorb on average just over half of the anthropogenic emissions of
carbon dioxide (CO 2) every year. These CO 2" sinks" are modulated by climate change and …

Forests are important sources of livelihoods to millions of people and contribute to national
economic development of many countries. In addition, they are vital sources and sinks of …

In an increasingly flammable world, wildfire is altering the terrestrial carbon balance.
However, the degree to which novel wildfire regimes disrupt biological function remains …

OzFlux is the regional Australian and New Zealand flux tower network that aims to provide a
continental-scale national research facility to monitor and assess trends, and improve …
