Summary: Comprehensive datasets from 22 field sites in China were used to study the impacts of environmental variables on terrestrial actual evapotranspiration (ETa). The results showed that net radiation was the primary control on daily ETa dynamics, followed by leaf area index, vapor pressure deficit, soil water content, and wind speed. Furthermore, it was found that vegetation significantly modified the interactions between daily ETa and energy/water supplies through various regulation mechanisms.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of the 2018 heatwave on the carbon exchange of different forest types and a clear-cut area in Europe. The results showed that the carbon exchange varied among forest types, with coniferous forests being the most resistant and mixed forests being the most affected. These findings are important for understanding the effects of global climate change on ecosystems.

Summary: COVID-19 in Detroit led to measures to prevent virus spread, resulting in changes in traffic and energy use. The study explores CO2 dynamics in this postindustrial city with a declining population and increasing green space. Results show that Detroit was a carbon source throughout the study period, with reduced traffic leading to lower CO2 concentrations and NUE. However, during the post-order period with higher traffic, atmospheric CO2 concentrations and NUE were lowest, indicating the potential of urban greening for carbon mitigation.

Summary: This study examines the net carbon fluxes in a minimally managed switchgrass field in Virginia over 5 years and finds that the field alternates between being a source and a sink of carbon annually, with interannual variability strongly correlated with temperature, precipitation, and the day of the last frost. The consistent carbon source to the atmosphere at this site differs from other studies, indicating that predictions of net carbon climate benefits from bioenergy crops cannot assume a net carbon sink. Background climate, management, and land-use history may impact whether widespread deployment of switchgrass as a bioenergy feedstock leads to realized climate change mitigation.

Summary: This study developed a framework for estimating the net ecosystem carbon exchange (NEE) at meteorological stations. By linking the micro-meteorological stations with widely distributed meteorological stations using machine learning (ML) and remote sensing, the accuracy of global NEE assessment can be effectively improved and uncertainty reduced.

Summary: This article proposes an approach using remote sensing data and meteorological variables to reconstruct the spatiotemporal variation of net ecosystem exchange. The proposed approach provides advantages in quantifying carbon exchange on a medium-to-large scale, including scalability, high spatial and temporal resolution, and robust and accurate predictions.

Summary: The wide-spread harvesting of forests on drained peatlands in Finland has raised concerns about its impact on carbon dioxide emissions and climate change. A study conducted in a mature peatland forest in southern Finland compared the impact of clear-cutting and partial cutting on CO2 exchange. The results showed that partial cutting resulted in significantly lower CO2 emissions in the short term, while clear-cutting continued to be a significant source of CO2 emissions throughout the measurement period. It was also found that the forest floor lost carbon both before and after the cuttings.

Summary: As Brazil expands its agricultural and livestock production, significant changes in carbon and water vapor fluxes are expected in the Cerrado region. This study conducted eddy covariance research in pasture areas in the Brazilian Cerrado, finding that pastures act as important carbon sinks and can maintain evapotranspiration even under water deficit conditions.

Summary: Carbon fluxes and CO2 isotope data from NEON provide insights into carbon cycle processes, but lack of calibration limits cross-site analyses. Different calibration approaches for CO2 isotopes show varying bias and precision, with substantial corrections required by site. Post-calibration data reveal correlations between δ13C and environmental factors, with forested and agricultural ecosystems exhibiting larger gradients in CO2 and δ13C than other sites, especially in summer and nighttime.

Summary: Forests play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by sequestering atmospheric CO2. Forest NEP varies significantly across regions, with Norway spruce forests showing high productivity in Europe. Air temperature is the most important factor driving NEP variations, followed by global radiation and stand age, while precipitation has limited contribution. However, potential decrease in NEP due to temperature increase and ecosystem disturbances still needs to be evaluated.

This study investigates the impact of these environmental variables on the growth of Opuntia cactus and reveals the differences in carbon, energy, and radiation balance between dry and wet seasons.

Summary: This study compared the carbon dioxide and water fluxes between perennial and annual crops and found that perennial crops have a greater carbon sink capacity and higher carbon use efficiency compared to annual crops. Although perennial crops have higher evapotranspiration at the beginning of the growing season, the overall water use efficiency is similar between the two crops.

Summary: This study developed a standardized monthly database of Arctic-boreal CO2 fluxes (ABCflux) that aggregates in situ measurements of terrestrial net ecosystem CO2 exchange and its derived partitioned component fluxes. The database includes 244 sites and 6309 monthly observations, providing valuable data for understanding the regional and temporal variability in CO2 fluxes.
