Black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) is the dominant conifer species across a large part of North American boreal forests, providing many goods and services essential to human activities, and playing a major climatic role through the global carbon cycle. However, a comprehensive synthesis of the effects of climate change on black spruce has...

Sphagnum mosses play a significant role in peat formation and carbon sequestration in mire ecosystems. It is critical to investigate the productivity and chemical composition of different Sphagnum species in order to assess their role in the global carbon cycle and potential in light of climate change. The data on productivity and growth characteri...
Forests around the world, and in the case of this study, the coastal Pacific Northwest United States, store large amounts of carbon, both above ground in the trees and below ground in soils. Understanding the effects of forest disturbance, including timber harvesting, is important in order to evaluate the role that forestry plays in the global carb...
Ecological disturbance can affect carbon storage and stability and is a key consideration for managing lands to preserve or increase ecosystem carbon to ameliorate the global greenhouse gas problem. Dryland soils are massive carbon reservoirs that are increasingly impacted by species invasions and altered fire regimes, including the exotic-grass-fi...
The export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from small river systems is a significant factor in the global carbon cycle. DOC quality can be used to identify the sources of carbon in headwater systems. High-resolution in-situ measurements in small headwater catchments can unveil fast changing patterns of DOC export and DOC quality during events. In...
Atmospheric CO2 concentrations changed over ice age cycles due to net exchange fluxes between land, ocean, ocean sediments, atmosphere, and the lithosphere. Marine sediment and ice cores preserved biogeochemical evidence of these carbon transfers, which resulted from sensitivities of the various carbon reservoirs to climate forcing, many of which r...
