The German eco tax and its impact on CO2 emissions

Petrik Runst, David Ho

Summary: After the introduction of fossil taxes in the German transportation sector, the carbon price increased by about 66 euro/t CO2, resulting in a significant decline in transport emissions by 0.2-0.35 t per person and year. The sales share of diesel cars quickly increased, while the fuel efficiency of non-diesel cars improved with a three-year time lag. Additionally, a qualitative analysis of a German car manufacturer's business reports suggested that the tax triggered an improvement in engine technology.

Linking canopy-scale mesophyll conductance and phloem sugar δ13C using empirical and modelling approaches

Pauliina Schiestl-Aalto, Zsofia R. Stangl, Lasse Tarvainen, Goran Wallin, John Marshall, Annikki Makela

Summary: Interpreting phloem carbohydrate or xylem tissue carbon isotopic composition as measures of water-use efficiency or past tree productivity requires a deep understanding of factors altering isotopic composition in the pathway from ambient air to phloem contents and tree ring. A dynamic model describing leaf photosynthetic pathways was formulated, with different mesophyll conductance descriptions, to predict responses under different weather conditions and simulate delta C-13 variations. The model successfully predicted drought responses and post-drought changes in phloem sugar delta C-13, suggesting its suitability for predicting leaf processes from phloem isotopic composition.

Long-term nitrogen addition raises the annual carbon sink of a boreal forest to a new steady-state

Peng Zhao, Jinshu Chi, Mats B. Nilsson, Mikaell Ottosson Lofvenius, Peter Hogberg, Georg Jocher, Hyungwoo Lim, Annikki Makela, John Marshall, Joshua Ratcliffe, Xianglin Tian, Torgny Nasholm, Tomas Lundmark, Sune Linder, Matthias Peichl

Summary: Boreal forests are important global carbon sinks, but low soil nitrogen availability limits forest productivity. Past studies have focused on aboveground tree biomass and soil carbon stock, lacking data on the ecosystem-scale carbon balance. This study uses long-term experiment data to examine the effects of ecosystem-scale nitrogen fertilization on a managed boreal pine forest, revealing increased carbon uptake and winter carbon emission. The study also highlights the divergent responses to weather patterns, emphasizing the importance of accounting for ecosystem-scale responses to perturbations.

Do mycorrhizal symbionts drive latitudinal trends in photosynthetic carbon use efficiency and carbon sequestration in boreal forests?

Annikki Makela, Xianglin Tian, Anna Repo, Hannu Ilvesniemi, John Marshall, Francesco Minunno, Torgny Nasholm, Pauliina Schiestl-Aalto, Aleksi Lehtonen

Summary: There is evidence that carbon use efficiency decreases with increasing latitude in boreal forests, and the abundance of ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) is positively correlated with latitude. This study developed models to quantify the relationship between ECM abundance and carbon use efficiency, and found that ECM can use a significant proportion of the carbon assimilated by vegetation, leading to a decline in carbon use efficiency at higher latitudes.

A model bridging waterlogging, stomatal behavior and water use in trees in drained peatland

Che Liu, Qian Wang, Annikki Makela, Hannu Hokka, Mikko Peltoniemi, Teemu Holtta

Summary: This study investigates the effects of waterlogging and drought on whole-tree hydraulic conductance and proposes a hierarchical model to describe these effects. The model accounts for both the limitations caused by low soil water content and the hypoxic effects associated with inhibited oxygen diffusion under high soil water content. The model was more accurate in predicting transpiration rate compared to reference models, particularly in reducing the overestimation of transpiration rate under shallow water table conditions.
