Freeze/Thaw and Ice Affected Regions (Global Freezing Index) Approximate distribution of frost and ice affected regions (i.e. areas with a freezing index > 0). Global freezing index is defined as the cumulative number of degree-days with air temperatures below 0 °C as determined from long-term (1920 - 1980) mean monthly global surface air temperatures.

Boreal Spring Freeze-Thaw Transition Events from: Running, Way, McDonald, Kimball, Frolking, Keyser and Zimmermann EOS Trans. AGU (1999)
6
Growing season length critical in boreal systems Example: Northern Finland
7
Simulated daily net carbon exchange (NEE) accumulation within a mature boreal Picea mariana (black spruce) stand in central Manitoba, Canada (after Frolking et al. 1996). Inter-Annual Variability of Net Carbon Ecosystem Exchange in a Boreal Picea mariana Stand
8
Interannual variability in NEE in temperate coniferous forest driven by NPP? Example: Scots Pine in NL

Carbon sink indicators: Biome-specific change in C stocks and C fluxes Separate indicators for soil and biomass Boreal regions: vulnerability of soil C through temperature rise enhanced NPP through longer growing season risk of high CH4 release from warming wetlands Temperate regions: vulnerability of NPP to extreme events vulnerability of NPP by drought spells Mediterranean regions: drought limitation of soil respiration vulnerability of C stocks by drought and fire
