Zixuan Zhou et al. developed a novel framework of 4-D forest carbon sinks of #ForestEcosystems and explored the 4-D carbon sinks of forest ecosystems in Heilongjiang Province.

The quadratic response of TMPopt (optimum temperature threshold) to PRE (precipitation) is a potential mechanism for nonlinear CUE(#CarbonUseEfficiency)-TMP(mean temperature) response.

Differences in the rates of change in vegetation respiration and gross primary productivity (GPP) with increasing temperature (TMP) drive the quadratic response of Carbon use efficiency (CUE) to TMP, whereas the quadratic response of optimal temperature (TMPopt) to PRE serves as a potential mechanism for the nonlinear CUE–TMP response

#Trees absorb the #greenhousegas #CO2 and release oxygen, thus contributing to a better #environment. Yet, isolated street trees are more susceptible to disease than those in #forests, which are embedded in complex #forestecosystems with a #treespecies #diversity.
In light of #globalwarming and #anthropogenic #environmentalchanges, R. C. Gatti et al. (2022) estimated the number of tree #speciesonEarth.
