    • Forest ecosystem changes from annual methane source to sink depending on late summer water balance 

      Shoemaker, Julie K.; Keenan, Trevor; Hollinger, David Y.; Richardson, Andrew (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)
      Forests dominate the global carbon cycle, but their role in methane (CH4) biogeochemistry remains uncertain. We analyzed whole-ecosystem CH4 fluxes from 2 years, obtained over a lowland evergreen forest in Maine, USA. Gross ...

    • Predicting Climate Change Impacts on the Amount and Duration of Autumn Colors in a New England Forest 

      Archetti, Marco; Richardson, Andrew; O'Keefe, John F.; Delpierre, Nicolas (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      Climate change affects the phenology of many species. As temperature and precipitation are thought to control autumn color change in temperate deciduous trees, it is possible that climate change might also affect the ...

    • Rate My Data: Quantifying the Value of Ecological Data for Models of Terrestrial Carbon Cycle 

      Keenan, Trevor; Davidson, Eric; Munger, James; Richardson, Andrew (Ecological Society of America, 2013)
