Temperature extremes of 2022 reduced carbon uptake by forests in Europe Open
The year 2022 saw record breaking temperatures in Europe during both summer and fall. Similar to the recent 2018 drought, close to 30% (3.0 million km 2 ) of the European continent was under severe summer drought. In 2022, the drought was …

Comparison of soil organic carbon stock change with eddy covariance carbon balance at an ICOS crop ecosystem site reveals unexplained carbon losses Open
According to the latest estimates, soils globally store 1500 to 2400 Gt of carbon (C) at a depth of 1 m in the form of organic matter. Almost the same amount of inorganic C is estimated to be stored at a depth of 2 m. Soils contain about t…
