Abstract. The global methane (CH4) budget is becoming an increasingly important component for managing realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. This relevance, due a shorter atmospheric lifetime and stronger warming potential than carbon dioxide, challenged by the still unexplained changes of CH4 over past decade. Emissions concentrations are continuing increase, making second most human-induced greenhouse gas after dioxide. Two major difficulties in reducing uncertainties come from...

Abstract Soil is the largest organic carbon (C) pool of terrestrial ecosystems, and C loss from soil accounts for a large proportion land‐atmosphere exchange. Therefore, small change in (SOC) can affect atmospheric dioxide (CO 2 ) concentration climate change. In past decades, wide variety studies have been conducted to quantify global SOC stocks exchange with atmosphere through site measurements, inventories, empirical/process‐based modeling. However, these estimates are highly uncertain,...

Our understanding and quantification of global soil nitrous oxide (N2 O) emissions the underlying processes remain largely uncertain. Here, we assessed effects multiple anthropogenic natural factors, including nitrogen fertilizer (N) application, atmospheric N deposition, manure land cover change, climate rising CO2 concentration, on N2 O for period 1861-2016 using a standard simulation protocol with seven process-based terrestrial biosphere models. Results suggest have increased from 6.3 ±...

Abstract Greenhouse gas (GHG)‐induced climate change is among the most pressing sustainability challenges facing humanity today, posing serious risks for ecosystem health. Methane (CH 4 ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) are two important GHGs after carbon dioxide (CO ), but their regional global budgets not well known. In this study, we applied a process‐based coupled biogeochemical model to concurrently estimate magnitude spatial temporal patterns of CH N O fluxes as driven by multiple...

Abstract Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is an important greenhouse gas and also ozone-depleting substance that has both natural anthropogenic sources. Large estimation uncertainty remains on the magnitude spatiotemporal patterns of N O fluxes key drivers production in terrestrial biosphere.

Abstract Increasing atmospheric methane (CH 4 ) concentrations have contributed to approximately 20% of anthropogenic climate change. Despite the importance CH as a greenhouse gas, its growth rate and dynamics over past two decades, which include stabilization period (1999–2006), followed by renewed starting in 2007, remain poorly understood. We provide an updated estimate emissions from wetlands, largest natural global source, for 2000–2012 using ensemble biogeochemical models constrained...

Amazon droughts have impacted regional ecosystem functioning as well global carbon cycling. The severe dry-season in 2005 and 2010, driven by Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly, been widely investigated terms of drought severity impacts on ecosystems. Although the influence Pacific SST anomaly wet-season precipitation has recognized, it remains uncertain to what extent could affect forest greenness photosynthesis Amazon. Here, we examined monthly annual dynamics photosynthetic...
