Abstract Globally, soils store two to three times as much carbon currently resides in the atmosphere, and it is critical understand how soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions uptake will respond ongoing climate change. In particular, soil‐to‐atmosphere CO 2 flux, commonly though imprecisely termed respiration ( R S ), one of largest fluxes Earth system. An increasing number high‐frequency measurements (typically, from an automated system with hourly sampling) have been made over last decades;...
Abstract Understanding what regulates ecosystem functional responses to disturbance is essential in this era of global change. However, many pioneering and still influential disturbance‐related theorie proposed by ecologists were developed prior rapid change, before tools metrics available test them. In light new knowledge conceptual advances across biological disciplines, we present four ecology concepts that are particularly relevant the field: (a) directionality response disturbance; (b)...
Many secondary deciduous forests of eastern North America are approaching a transition in which mature early-successional trees declining, resulting an uncertain future for this century-long carbon (C) sink. We initiated the Forest Accelerated Succession Experiment (FASET) at University Michigan Biological Station to examine patterns and mechanisms underlying forest C cycling following stem girdling-induced mortality >6,700 Populus spp. (aspen) Betula papyrifera (paper birch). Meteorological...
Research can be more transparent and collaborative by using Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (FAIR) principles to publish Earth environmental science data. Reporting formats-instructions, templates, tools for consistently formatting data within a discipline-can help make accessible reusable. However, the immense diversity of types across disciplines makes development adoption challenging. Here, we describe 11 community reporting formats diverse set (meta)data including...
Field observations of the soil-to-atmosphere CO2 flux—soil respiration, RS—are a prime example 'long tail' data that historically have had neither centralized databases nor an agreed-upon reporting format. This has hindered scientific transparency, analytical reproducibility, and syntheses with respect to this globally-important component carbon cycle. Here we propose new metadata format for RS data, based on engagement wide range researchers in earth ecological sciences as well expert...
Abstract The concept of stability is central to the study and sustainability vital ecosystem goods services as disturbances increase globally. While ecologists, including carbon (C) cycling scientists, have long‐considered multiple dimensions disturbance response, our discipline lacks an agreed‐upon analytical framework for characterizing multidimensional stability. Here, we advocate broader adoption a standardized normalized analyzing response. This includes four stability: degree initial...
Abstract. The fortedata R package is an open data notebook from the Forest Resilience Threshold Experiment (FoRTE) – a modeling and manipulative field experiment that tests effects of disturbance severity type on carbon cycling dynamics in temperate forest. Package consist measurements pools fluxes ancillary to help analyze interpret over time. Currently includes metadata first three FoRTE seasons, serves as central, updatable resource for project team, intended external users course...
Forests dominate the global terrestrial carbon budget, but their ability to continue doing so in face of a changing climate is uncertain. A key uncertainty how forests will respond (resistance) and recover from (resilience) rising levels disturbance varying intensities. This knowledge gap can optimally be addressed by integrating manipulative field experiments with ecophysiological modeling. We used Ecosystem Demography-2.2 (ED-2.2) model project fluxes for northern temperate deciduous...
