Seasonal warming responses of the carbon dioxide sink from northern forests are sensitive to stand age by Peng Liu, Tianshan Zha, T. Andrew Black, Rachhpal S. Jassal, Xin Jia, Asko Noormets, Andrew Ouimette, Yun Tian, Xinhao Li

“…Annually, this resulted in an increase in net CO2 uptake due to seasonal warming for old forests (4.8 g C m−2 yr-1) and a decrease in young- and mid-aged forests (3.2 and 0.8 g C m−2 yr-1, respectively). In future projections, increasingly uneven seasonal warming may amplify the impacts of stand age on CO2 sinks of northern forests.…”
