CLIMATE SENSITIVITY

Increasing the heat in an aging forest

Nature Reviews Earth & Environment volume 3, page 357 (2022)Cite this article

Subjects

Boreal forests contain about half the carbon (C) of terrestrial forests worldwide, and as such, they play an immense role in the global C cycle. Therefore, accurately predicting the global C balance requires understanding of C fluxes in boreal trees and how they respond to climate change. While the relationships between climate and boreal tree growth are generally non-stationary, it remains unknown whether the same is true of the relationships between climate and C fluxes.
