Study suggests non-uniform climate warming affects terrestrial carbon cycle, ecosystems and future predictions

Wednesday, March 5, 2014 - 15:30 in Earth & Climate

A recent University of Oklahoma study of five decades of satellite data, model simulations and in situ observations suggests the impact of seasonal diurnal or daily warming varies between global regions affecting many ecosystem functions and services, such as food production, carbon sequestration and climate regulation. The effects of non-uniform climate warming on terrestrial ecosystems is a key challenge in carbon cycle research and for those making future predictions.
