Ecology and Ecophysiology

Total ecosystem respiration in savanna ecosystems

Total ecosystem respiration in savannas is influenced by soil moisture, vegetation, and rainfall patterns. About half of the carbon taken in by savanna ecosystems is released back to the atmosphere through respiration.

How do trees make wood?

Trees produce wood through photosynthesis, forming xylem layers, which consist of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin.
