abstract This paper reports the results of a full year (2000) of measurements of CO2 flux at a successional forest of mature birch and growing oak with Sasa-bamboo in Sapporo, Japan. Eddy covariance fluxes of CO2 were obtained using a closed-path infrared gas analyzer. Changes in CO2 storage...

abstract The CO2 flux over a mixed forest of evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved trees on complex topography was measured by using an eddy covariance method. To evaluate the CO2 flux over such a forest and to ascertain the effect of topography, the eddy covariance measurement was conducted at...

This article reveals that an analysis of tree growth and death across tropical Africa has found that each hectare of forest soaks up about 0.6 tonnes of carbon a year. This result, reported by Simon Lewis at the University of Leeds in the England, mirrors the carbon-absorbing ability of the...
