Precipitation alters the CO2 effect on water-use efficiency of temperate forests

Soumaya Belmecheri et al.

Summary: The study reveals that, despite the continuous rise in atmospheric CO2 concentrations, tree physiological response in temperate forests of northeastern USA showed a steady increase in intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE) from 1901 to 1975, but remained constant thereafter, indicating a passive physiological response to rising CO2 and a shift to wetter conditions in the region. The results challenge the mechanism, magnitude, and persistence of CO2's effect on iWUE, with important implications for projections of terrestrial productivity under a changing climate.

Soil respiration and litter decomposition along a salinity gradient in a saline boreal fen in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region

Olena Volik et al.

Summary: Understanding the controls on soil respiration and litter decomposition rates in saline boreal fens can help in wetland reclamation in salt-affected post-mined landscapes. Water table depth and soil moisture were found to be important factors influencing soil respiration and litter decomposition rates in saline environments. Keeping a high and stable water table is crucial to reduce decomposition and promote organic matter accumulation.
