Precipitation thresholds regulate net carbon exchange at the continental scale

The sensitivity of terrestrial net ecosystem carbon exchange (NEE) to climate remains a major source of uncertainty. Here, the authors identify a precipitation threshold of between 750-950 mm yr−1 for the contiguous United States, beyond which NEE is regulated by respiration rather than production....

Sumario:The sensitivity of terrestrial net ecosystem carbon exchange (NEE) to climate remains a major source of uncertainty. Here, the authors identify a precipitation threshold of between 750-950 mm yr−1 for the contiguous United States, beyond which NEE is regulated by respiration rather than production.
