Short summary
Seasonal changes in forest behavior are often hard to detect in carbon data. We developed a wavelet‑based approach to uncover how three beech forests grow and absorb carbon through seasons. The forests showed distinct spring growth, summer slowdowns and long‑term trends. All forests were carbon sinks with managed forests strengthening over time while the old forest weakened. We show how seasonal dynamics explain long‑term changes and offer a new tool for tracking forest responses to climate.

Short summary
We studied 24 years of carbon exchange in a beech forest to understand why its productivity rises, peaks and declines each at different times of the year. We mapped climate effects onto short biological windows and found that stored carbon supports early growth, a one‑week bud formation period can set next year’s peak and bursts of dry air drive mid‑summer drops. Hot summers even raised productivity when water was available. These insights help anticipate forest responses to heat and drought.

Short summary
Modelling changes in soil carbon stocks often relies on field measurements, such as temperature, rainfall and plant growth, but these data are not widely available across large areas. Using 16 long-term experiments data across Europe, we tested how model results changed when field measurements were replaced with satellite-based and other spatial data. Overall, spatial data produced reliable estimates of soil carbon change, supporting their use in large-scale assessments.

This dataset includes monthly measurements of carbon dioxide and methane exchange between land, water, and the atmosphere from over 1000 sites in Arctic and boreal regions. It combines measurements from a variety of ecosystems, including wetlands, forests, tundra, lakes, and rivers, gathered by over 260 researchers from 1984–2024. This dataset can be used to improve and reduce uncertainty in carbon budgets in order to strengthen our understanding of climate feedbacks in a warming world.

We studied how soil organic carbon stocks changed over 21 years in a Belgian cropland by combining soil sampling, a soil carbon model, and measurements from a flux tower. The soil appeared mostly stable overall, but the flux-tower approach suggested much larger carbon losses than the other methods. Our results show that using several approaches together is important to better understand soil organic carbon changes and to identify farming practices that either build up or reduce soil carbon.

Short summary
Short summary
We investigated how wavelet-based methods estimate variance and covariance in time‑varying environmental data. We found that a widely used approach introduces systematic deviations of about 10–15 % under typical conditions. By introducing an alternative formulation, we reduced these discrepancies and improved estimation accuracy. Since these estimates are used to quantify exchanges of energy and gases, even moderate systematic deviations may influence long-term environmental analyses.

Short summary
Soil is a large pool of carbon storing globally, from 2 to 3 times more carbon than the atmosphere and vegetation. We measure the soil stock change from 2005 to 2019 at the ICOS crop site FR-Gri near Paris. The soil carbon stock decreased by approximately 72 ± 17 g C m-2 yr-1 over the period, resulting in a total loss of around 8% of the initial soil stock. This strong destocking is primarily attributed to a decrease in residue return and organic amendments to the site.

We measured the net exchange (fluxes) of volatile organic compounds and ozone between a mixed temperate forest and the atmosphere over three years in Belgium. Many compounds were both emitted and deposited depending on the season and time of day. Emissions peaked in summer, while uptake was stronger in autumn. This unique long-term dataset improves our understanding of forest–atmosphere interactions and supports better air quality and climate models.

The movement of water, carbon, and energy from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere, or flux, is an important process to understand because it impacts our lives. Here, we outline a method called FLUXCOM-X to estimate global water and CO2 fluxes based on direct measurements from sites around the world. We go on to demonstrate how these new estimates of net CO2 uptake/loss, gross CO2 uptake, total water evaporation, and transpiration from plants compare to previous and independent estimates.

We present a methodology to detect inconsistencies in perhaps the most important data source for measurements of ecosystem–atmosphere carbon, water, and energy fluxes. We expect that the derived consistency flags will be relevant for data users and will help in improving our understanding of and our ability to model ecosystem–climate interactions.

This paper reviews the emission and emission processes of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) from various crops and soil under different management practices, highlighting challenges in modeling the emissions and proposing a conceptual model for estimation. The aim of this paper is to present agricultural BVOC data and related mechanistic processes to enhance model accuracy and reduce uncertainties in estimating BVOC emissions from agriculture.

Four different methods for quantifying photosynthesis (GPP) at ecosystem scale were tested, of which two are based on carbon dioxide (CO2) and two on carbonyl sulfide (COS) flux measurements. CO2-based methods are traditional partitioning, and a new method uses machine learning. We introduce a novel method for calculating GPP from COS fluxes, with potentially better applicability than the former methods. Both COS-based methods gave on average higher GPP estimates than the CO2-based estimates.

As carbon (C) and greenhouse gas (GHG) research has adopted appropriate technology and approach (AT&A), low-cost instruments, open-source software, and participatory research and their results were well accepted by scientific communities. In terms of cost, feasibility, and performance, the integration of low-cost and low-technology, participatory and networking-based research approaches can be AT&A for enhancing C and GHG research in developing countries.

Short summary
Accurate measurements of carbon dioxide and water vapour exchanges are essential for understanding climate change. Using data from 38 European observation sites, we compared two commonly used correction methods and found that one provides more robust and consistent results, especially for water vapour. The study also revealed differences with current network processing procedures, highlighting opportunities to improve the reliability of long-term ecosystem observations.
Accurate measurements of carbon dioxide and water vapour exchanges are essential for...
