Jia Yang paper on global pyrogenic carbon emissions published in Global Biogeochemical Cycles

Yang, Tian et al. published a new paper on “Century-scale patterns and trends of global pyrogenic carbon emissions and fire influences on terrestrial carbon balance” in Global Biogeochemical Cycles.   Abstract Fires have consumed a large amount of terrestrial organic carbon and significantly influenced terrestrial ecosystems and the physical climate system over the past century….Continue Reading Jia Yang paper on global pyrogenic carbon emissions published in Global Biogeochemical Cycles

Dr. Tian’s paper on the effect of climate extremes on carbon export from the Mississippii River Basin

The recent paper “Climate extremes dominating seasonal and interannual variations in carbon export from the Mississippi River Basin” led by Dr. Tian found that climate variability and extreme events such as drought and flood , were the primary factor responsible fro seasonal and interannaul variations in carbon export from the MS River Basin. The article…Continue Reading Dr. Tian’s paper on the effect of climate extremes on carbon export from the Mississippii River Basin

Dr. Tian new paper on anthropogenic and climatic influences on carbon fluxes from eastern North America

The new article entitled “Anthropogenic and climatic influenced on carbon fluxes from eastern North America to the Atlantic Ocean: A process-based modeling study” led by Dr. Tian was published in JGR-Biogeosciences.   Abstract: The magnitude, spatiotemporal patterns, and controls of carbon flux from land to the ocean remain uncertain. Here we applied a process-based land…Continue Reading Dr. Tian new paper on anthropogenic and climatic influences on carbon fluxes from eastern North America

Dr. Tian new paper on North American terrestrial CO2 uptake

March 2014 AUBURN – Dr. Tian published a new paper entitled “North American terrestrial CO2 uptake largely offset by CH4 and N2O emissions: toward a full accounting of the greenhouse gas budget” in Climatic Change. The paper highlight the greenhouse warming potential (GWP) of North American terrestrial ecosystems during 2001-2010. Dr. Tian pioneering work was…Continue Reading Dr. Tian new paper on North American terrestrial CO2 uptake
