![]() | Ehleringer, James R. | Carbon isotope ratios in belowground carbon cycle processes | Analyses of carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) in soil organic matter (SOM) and soil respired CO2 provide insights into dynamics of the carbon cycle. δ13C analyses do not provide direct measures of soil CO2 efflux rates but are useful as a constraint in carbon cycle models. In many cases, δ13C analyses... | Below ground processes; Ecosystems; Carbon cycle; Carbon isotope ratio; Ecosystem processes; Global change; Soil organic carbon; Soil organic matter | 2000 |

![]() | Ehleringer, James R. | Tracing changes in ecosystem function under elevated carbon dioxide conditions | Responses of ecosystems to elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) remain a critical uncertainty in global change research. Two key unknown factors are the fate of carbon newly incorporated by photosynthesis into various pools within the ecosystem and the extent to which elevated CO2 is... | Elevated carbon dioxide; Stable isotopes; Radiocarbon; Global change; Terrestrial ecosystems | 2003 |

![]() | Ehleringer, James R. | Study of ecosystems in the context of global change | Global change research requires not only knowledge of how individual species (e.g. pests) respond to climate and land-use change, but also an understanding of the responses of whole systems to their multiple and interacting drivers. An upscaling from single systems to landscapes and continents is an... | Ecosystems; Global change | 1999 |
