Carbon Budget at the Harvard Forest 1992-2015

How, where, and why carbon (C) moves into and out of an ecosystem through time are long-standing questions in biogeochemistry. Here, we bring together hundreds of thousands of C-cycle observations at the Harvard Forest in central Massachusetts, USA, a mid-latitude landscape dominated by 80–120-year-old closed-canopy forests. These data answered four questions: (i) where and how much C is presently stored in dominant forest types; (ii) what are current rates of C accrual or loss; (iii) what biotic and abiotic factors contribute to variability in these rates; and (iv) is climate change affecting the forest’s C cycle? Harvard Forest is an active C sink resulting from forest regrowth following land abandonment. Soil and tree biomass comprise nearly equal portions of existing C stocks. Net primary production (NPP) averaged 750–970 g C m-2 yr-1; belowground NPP contributed 30–60% of the total. Mineral soil C measured in the same inventory plots in 1992 and 2013 were too heterogeneous to detect change in soil-C pools; however, radiocarbon data suggest a small but persistent sink of 10–30 g C m-2 yr-1. Net ecosystem production (NEP) in hardwood stands averaged ~300 g C m-2 yr-1. NEP in hemlock-dominated forests averaged ~450 g C m-2 yr-1 prior to infestation by the hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) in 2013, and then became a net C source. Stand dynamics and climate change in the last three decades enhanced the C sink in hardwood stands; NPP increased 26% between 2000–2014 (p = 0.02) and NEP increased 93% between 1992–2015 (p = 0.13). Compared to long-term global change experiments at the Harvard Forest, the C sink in regrowing biomass equaled or exceeded C cycle modifications imposed by soil warming, N saturation, and hemlock removal. Median forest biomass in the surrounding ecoregion was only 78% of that at the Harvard Forest due to higher timber harvesting rates across the region. Results of this synthesis and comparison to simulation models suggest that forests across the reg

Steady state carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and water budgets for twelve mature ecosystems ranging from prairie to forest and from the arctic to the tropics

We use the Multiple Element Limitation (MEL) model to examine the responses of twelve ecosystems - from the arctic to the tropics and from grasslands to forests - to elevated carbon dioxide (CO2), warming, and 20% decreases or increases in annual precipitation. The ecosystems we simulated include moist acidic tundra, shrub tundra, and wet sedge tundra near Toolik Lake, Alaska, alpine dry meadow tundra near Niwot Ridge, Colorado, restored tallgrass prairie near Kellogg Biological Station, Michigan, native tallgrass prairie at the Konza Prairie, Kansas, upland and lowland boreal forest near Bonanza Creek, Alaska, temperate coniferous forest in HJ Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon, a northern hardwood forest in Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, New Hampshire, a transition oak-maple forest in Harvard Forest, Massachusetts, and lowland tropical rainforest near Caxiuanã National Forest, Pará, Brazil. For each of the twelve sites, we run six 100-year simulations beginning from the calibrated steady state (72 simulations total). The six simulations are: (1) increasing CO2 from 400 to 800 μmol mol-1, (2) warming from current temperatures to current plus 3.5oC, (3) decreasing precipitation from 100% to 80% of the current annual rate, (4) increasing precipitation from 100% to 120% of the current annual rate, (5) doubling of CO2, 3.5oC warming, and 20% decrease in precipitation, and (6) doubling of CO2, 3.5oC warming, and 20% increase in precipitation. The carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and water budgets presented here are used to calibrate the MEL model prior to running the climate change simulations. Citations and calculations for the data presented here are described in the individual site html files included in this dataset.

FAB 1: Forests and Biodiversity Experiment - High density diversity experiment: carbon budget data

This data represents changes in above and belowground C pools in young stands six years after the initiation of the Forests and Biodiversity experiment (FAB1) in 2013, consisting of high density plots of one, two, five, or 12 tree species planted in a common garden. Trees were planted to represent a range of native functional diversity, including needle-leaf conifer and broadleaf deciduous species as well as ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular mycorrhizal species. We quantified the effects of species richness, phylogenetic diversity, and functional diversity on aboveground C accumulation, as well as on soil C accumulation, fine root C, and soil aggregation. To assess the role of the microbial community in mediating these effects, we further compared changes in soil C pools to phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) profiles collected in 2016.

Canadian fossil fuel production, greenhouse gas emissions, emissions targets and carbon budgets

<p>This spreadsheet shows the amounts of coal, oil and natural gas produced in Canada from 2010 to 2020 using governmental sources. It includes calculations of the corresponding emissions according to a life-cycle analysis. The total greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels extracted annually in Canada (including those burned abroad) are computed. McGlade and Ekins (2015) proposed budgets for the production of each type of fossil fuel in order to provide a 67% chance to limit warming to 2.0 &deg;C by 2100. The proportion of each budget that is already spent is calculated. Emissions targets from 21 scenarios originating from five effort-sharing studies are compared with Canadian 2020 emissions to evaluate the difference. Carbon budgets from 18 scenarios originating from seven studies are compared with Canadian cumulative emissions to evaluate the percentage of the budgets within the period 2010-2050 already emitted.</p>

Data from: Mesophotic Foraminiferal-Algal Nodules play a role in the Red Sea carbonate budget

<p>Free-living mesophotic Foraminiferal-Algal Nodules (FANs) have been discovered along the coast of the northern Saudi Arabian Red Sea (NEOM region) where they form a novel benthic ecosystem in mesophotic water depths on the continental shelf. Being mostly spheroidal, the nodules are transported <em>en masse</em> down slope, into the deep water of the basin, where they stop accreting. Radiometric dating informs that FANs can be more than two thousand years old and that they collectively contribute up to 66 g m<sup>-2</sup> year<sup>-1</sup> to the mesophotic benthic carbonate budget and account for at least 980 megatons of CaCO<sub>3</sub>, a substantial contribution considering the depauperate production of carbonate by other means in this light-limited environment. Our findings advance the knowledge of mesophotic biodiversity and carbonate production, and provide data that will inform conservation policies in the Saudi Arabian Red Sea.</p>

Data from: Phenological mismatch with trees reduces wildflower carbon budgets

Interacting species can respond differently to climate change, causing unexpected consequences. Many understory wildflowers in deciduous forests leaf out and flower in the spring when light availability is highest before overstory canopy closure. Therefore, different phenological responses by understory and overstory species to increased spring temperature could have significant ecological implications. Pairing contemporary data with historical observations initiated by Henry David Thoreau (1850s), we found that overstory tree leaf out is more responsive to increased spring temperature than understory wildflower phenology, resulting in shorter periods of high light in the understory before wildflowers are shaded by tree canopies. Because of this overstory-understory mismatch, we estimate that wildflower spring carbon budgets in the northeastern United States were 12-26% larger during Thoreau's era and project a 10-48% reduction during this century. This underappreciated phenomenon may have already reduced wildflower fitness and could lead to future population declines in these ecologically important species.

Data from: The contribution of carbon budget to masting intervals in Veratrum album populations inhabiting different elevations

<p><strong>Premise</strong><strong>: </strong>Mast flowering/seeding is often more extreme in lower-resource environments, such as alpine compared to lowland habitats. We studied a masting herb which had less extreme masting at higher elevations, and tested if this difference could be explained by higher photosynthetic productivity and/or lower reproductive investment at the higher elevation sites.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>We examined the relationship between flowering intervals and carbon budget (i.e., the balance between reproductive investment and annual carbon fixation) in a masting herb, <em>Veratrum album</em> subsp. <em>oxysepalum</em>, across five lowland and six alpine populations in northern Japan. We evaluated the previous flowering histories of individual plants based on rhizome morphology and analyzed the masting patterns of individual populations. Total mass of the reproductive organs, as a proxy of reproductive investment, was compared between the lowland and alpine populations. Annual carbon fixation was estimated based on photosynthetic capacity, total leaf area per plant, and seasonal transition of light availability.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Interval between high-flowering years was shorter and total reproductive investment was smaller in the alpine than in the lowland populations. Owing to its high photosynthetic capacity and continuous bright conditions, annual carbon fixation per plant was 1.5 times greater at the alpine habitat than at the lowland habitat. These results suggest that <em>V. album</em> alpine populations have shorter flowering intervals than lowland populations due to faster recovery from energy loss after reproduction.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our study demonstrated that masting intervals in <em>V. album</em> populations can be explained by habitat-specific carbon budget balances.</p>

Soil dissolved organic carbon in terrestrial ecosystems: global budget, spatial distribution and controls

<p><strong>Aims: </strong>Soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a primary form of labile carbon in terrestrial ecosystems and therefore plays a vital role in soil carbon cycling. This study aims to quantify the budgets of soil DOC at biome- and global levels and to examine the variations in soil DOC and their environmental controls. Location: Global Time period: 1981 - 2019 Method: We compiled a global dataset and analyzed the concentration and distribution of DOC across 10 biomes.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Large variations in DOC are found among biomes across space and the soil DOC concentration declines exponentially along soil depths. Tundra has the highest soil DOC concentration in 0 - 30 cm soils (453.75 (95% confidence interval: 324.95 – 633.5) mg·kg-1); whereas tropical and temperate forests have relatively lower DOC concentrations, ranging from 30.20 (24.78 - 36.80) mg·kg-1 to 54.54 (49.77 – 59.77) mg·kg-1. DOC generally accounts for &lt; 1% of total organic carbon in soils, and DOC in 0 - 30 cm contributes more than half of total DOC in 0 - 100 cm soil profile. Furthermore, variations in DOC are primarily controlled by soil texture, moisture, and total organic carbon.</p> <p><strong>Main conclusion: </strong>A global synthesis is combined with an empirical model to extrapolate the DOC concentration along soil profiles across the globe, and global budgets of DOC are estimated as 7.20 Pg C in top 0 - 30 cm and 12.97 Pg C in 0 - 100 cm, respectively, with a considerable variation among biomes. The strong soil texture control but weak TOC control on DOC variations suggest that the investigation of physical protection of soil organic carbon might need to expand to consider the labile C in soils. The global maps of DOC concentration serve as a benchmark for validating land surface models in estimating carbon storage in soils.</p>
