Warming alters the metabolic balance of ecosystems.
The carbon cycle modulates climate change, via the regulation of atmospheric CO(2), and it represents one of the most important services provided by ecosystems. However, considerable uncertainties remain concerning potential feedback between the biota and the climate. In particular, it is unclear how global warming will affect the metabolic balance between the photosynthetic fixation and respir...
متن کاملDecomposition of recalcitrant carbon under experimental warming in boreal forest
Over the long term, soil carbon (C) storage is partly determined by decomposition rate of carbon that is slow to decompose (i.e., recalcitrant C). According to thermodynamic theory, decomposition rates of recalcitrant C might differ from those of non-recalcitrant C in their sensitivities to global warming. We decomposed leaf litter in a warming experiment in Alaskan boreal forest, and measured ...
متن کاملEffects of Global Warming on Marine Ecosystems
Marine ecosystems are very diversified and involved in a complicated net of internal and external intercommunications. Their evolutionary history and present adaptive possibilities strongly depend on variability of climate conditions. Ocean basins in equatorial, tropical, and moderate zones are distinguished by the stability of environmental parameters and less affected by climatic anomalies. O...

متن کاملHow strong is carbon cycle-climate feedback under global warming
[1] The behavior of the coupled carbon cycle and physical climate system in a global warming scenario is studied using an Earth system model including the atmosphere, land, ocean, and the carbon cycle embedded in these components. A fully coupled carbon-climate simulation and several sensitivity runs were conducted for the period of 1860–2100 with prescribed IPCC-SRES-A1B emission scenario. Res...
