Changes in grassland ecosystem function due to extreme rainfall events: implications for responses to climate change
Climate change is causing measurable changes in rainfall patterns, and will likely cause increases in extreme rainfall events, with uncertain implications for key processes in ecosystem function and carbon cycling. We examined how variation in rainfall total quantity (Q), the interval between rainfall events (I), and individual event size (SE) affected soil water content (SWC) and three aspects...
متن کاملTransient Climate Change and Net Ecosystem Production ofthe Terrestrial Biosphere
In this sensitivity study, we have applied the Terrestrial Ecosystem Model ((TEM) version 4.1) to examine the responses of terrestrial ecosystems totransient changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration and climate in the 21st century at the scales of the globe, biomes, latitudinal gradient, and economic regions. Three predictions of transient change in climate and atmospheric CO2 concentration i t...
متن کاملContemporary climate change and terrestrial invertebrates: evolutionary versus plastic changes
To forecast the responses of species to future climate change, an understanding of the ability of species to adapt to long-term shifts in temperature is crucial. We present a review on evolutionary adaptation and phenotypic plasticity of temperature-related traits in terrestrial invertebrates. The evidence for adaptive evolution in melanization is good, but we caution that genetic determination...
متن کاملTowards an integrated understanding of terrestrial ecosystem feedbacks to climate change.
Since 1870, fairly consistent growth in the amount of carbon stored by the terrestrial biosphere has offset the equivalent of c. 29% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (Le Qu er e et al., 2015). However, coupled carbon–climate models do not agree as to how this sink will be affected by projected changes in climate over the next century (Friedlingstein et al., 2014). To help constrain thi...
متن کاملRobustness and uncertainty in terrestrial ecosystem carbon response to CMIP5 climate change projections
We have investigated the spatio-temporal carbon balance patterns resulting from forcing a dynamic global vegetation model with output from 18 climate models of the CMIP5 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5) ensemble. We found robust patterns in terms of an extra-tropical loss of carbon, except for a temperature induced shift in phenology, leading to an increased spring uptake of carb...
