Integrated Terrestrial and Hydrological Carbon Budgets in High Arctic Watersheds
… CO2 emissions overwhelmingly dominating the budgets, accounting for 97.6%-99.6% of total losses. CH4 fluxes were very small compared to CO2, even after converting to CO2 equivalence. Carbon fluxes measured in 2023, a very warm year with more winter snowfall were compared to those from 2024, a …

Effects of Growth Environment on Aboveground Carbon Budgets in Ponderosa Pine
In a separate study I measured ponderosa pine saplings grown in CO$\sb2$-enriched atmospheres. Trees grown under elevated CO$\sb2$ concentrations (ambient + 350 ppm) had higher temperature coefficients of respiration than trees grown under current ambient concentrations (approx. 350 ppm) and this …
