Accelerating Forest Growth Enhancement due to Climate and Atmospheric Changes in British Colombia, Canada over 1956-2001
Changes in climate and atmospheric CO2 and nitrogen (N) over the last several decades have induced significant effects on forest carbon (C) cycling. However, contributions of individual factors are largely unknown because of the lack of long observational data and the undifferentiating between intrinsic factors and external forces in current ecosystem models. Using over four decades (1956-2001)...
متن کاملClimate and atmospheric drivers of historical terrestrial carbon uptake in the province of British Columbia, Canada
The impacts of climate change and increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration on the terrestrial uptake of carbon dioxide since 1860 in the Canadian province of British Columbia are estimated using the process-based Canadian Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (CTEM). Model simulations show that these two factors yield an enhanced carbon uptake of around 44 gC m−2 yr−1 (or equivalently 63 gC m−2 yr−1 over...
متن کاملObserved forest sensitivity to climate implies large changes in 21st century North American forest growth.
Predicting long-term trends in forest growth requires accurate characterisation of how the relationship between forest productivity and climatic stress varies across climatic regimes. Using a network of over two million tree-ring observations spanning North America and a space-for-time substitution methodology, we forecast climate impacts on future forest growth. We explored differing scenarios...
متن کاملVariable effects of climate on forest growth in relation to climate extremes, disturbance, and forest dynamics.
Changes in the frequency, duration, and severity of climate extremes are forecast to occur under global climate change. The impacts of climate extremes on forest productivity and health remain difficult to predict due to potential interactions with disturbance events and forest dynamics-changes in forest stand composition, density, size and age structure over time. Such interactions may lead to...
متن کاملVerification in the Forest Sector of British Columbia, Canada
VERIFOR is a research partnership between ODI, CATIE, CIFOR and RECOFTC, with funding from the European Union and the Governments of the Netherlands and Germany. It seeks to ensure that timber and forest products are legally harvested, and will help producer nations establish verification systems with high national and international credibility.
