Quantifying CO₂ emissions from ground-mounted solar parks in temperate climates and the potential mitigating role of surface vegetation

Other · March 14, 2026 In the context of the environmental crisis and steadily increasing energy demand, diversifying energy sources has driven the deployment of renewable energies, particularly photovoltaics. Photovoltaic energy is generally considered a low-carbon alte ... Full text Cite

Inter-annual variation in carbon allocation explains partial decoupling between assimilation and growth in six forest sites

Other · March 13, 2026 Predicting the future carbon balance of forests, and their carbon sequestration capacity, requires a precise understanding of how gross primary productivity (GPP) is partitioned among autotrophic respiration and the different compartments of the ne ... Full text Cite

The impact of forest canopy structure on the understory microclimate: a physics-based approach and sensitivity analysis

Other · January 20, 2025 Forest canopies can buffer or amplify macroclimate temperature extremes in their understory depending on structural and ecological parameters such as canopy height, canopy openness, and species composition. Forest management practices that alter th ... Full text Cite

Carbon assimilation limitations during and after the European 2022 drought and heat wave

Other · January 20, 2025 In 2022, Europe experienced a widespread severe summer edaphic drought and heat event. We explore how the gross primary productivity (GPP) was affected by this dry spell by contrasting 2022 with previous years, using high-frequency Eddy-Covariance ... Full text Cite

Responses of European forest fluxes to the 2022 heatwave and drought recorded by ICOS Eddy-covariance stations

Other · May 15, 2023 In 2022, Europe experienced a widespread severe summer edaphic drought and heat event, as well as abnormally hot autumn temperatures. By contrasting year 2022 with previous ones and using high-frequency Eddy-covariance and meteorological monitoring ... Full text Cite

Evaluating and bridging the flux-variance and surface renewal methods

Other · May 15, 2023 Two micrometeorological methods that utilize high frequency sampling of air temperature were tested against eddy covariance (EC) sensible heat flux (H) measurements at three sites representing agricultural, agro-forestry and forestry systems. The t ... Full text Cite
