Abstract Using two cities, Rimini (Italy, Cfa climate) and Krakow (Poland, Cfb), as living
laboratories, this research aimed at measuring in situ the capacity of 15 woody species to …

Drought can cause tree mortality through hydraulic failure and carbon starvation. To prevent
excess water loss, plants typically close their stomata before massive embolism formation …

Tree species differ in their carbon (C) allocation strategies during environmental change.
Disentangling species‐specific strategies and contribution to the C balance of mixed forests …

Forest carbon sequestration offset protocols have been employed for more than 20 years
with limited success in slowing deforestation and increasing forest carbon trading volume …

The chapter describes a long-term (2000–2019) perspective of carbon and energy fluxes
from the leaf to the whole ecosystem scale in a semi-arid Aleppo pine forest plantation (the …

Characterizing the carbon and water economy of non-commercial urban citrus orchards can
help determine their value in urban settings. This includes provisions of urban ecology and …

Stable carbon isotopes (δ 13 C) are a useful technique to partition the net ecosystem–
atmosphere exchange (NEE) of carbon dioxide (CO 2) into gross primary productivity (GPP) …

The mechanisms underlying the soil CO 2 flux (F s) in dry desert soils are not fully
understood. To better understand these processes, we must accurately estimate these small …

Afforestation is a good strategy for climate change mitigation through increasing carbon
stocks. This study determined changes in soil respiration (SR) brought about by the …

Carbon sequestration was studied in the planted Israeli Yatir forest, a 28${km}^ 2$ Aleppo
pine forest growing at the semi-arid timberline (with no irrigation or fertilization). The organic …
