Ciais, P. et al. Europe-wide reduction in primary productivity caused by the heat and drought in 2003. Nature 437, 529–533 (2005). This integrated data and modelling analysis showed that the extreme European heatwave 2003 undid 3–5 years of mean carbon sequestration.
Van Oost, K. et al. The impact of agricultural soil erosion on the global carbon cycle. Science 318, 626–629 (2007). This paper estimated the net effect of erosion given sources and sinks induced by the transported material.
Anderegg, W. R. et al. The roles of hydraulic and carbon stress in a widespread climate-induced forest die-off. Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 109, 233–237 (2012). This is a comprehensive analysis of mechanisms causing drought-related tree mortality.
Smith, M. D. An ecological perspective on extreme climatic events: a synthetic definition and framework to guide future research. J. Ecol. 99, 656–663 (2011). This paper introduced the ecosystem-impact-oriented perspective on climate extremes.
Arnone, J. A. III et al. Prolonged suppression of ecosystem carbon dioxide uptake after an anomalously warm year. Nature 455, 383–386 (2008). This was the first experimental study showing evidence for year-long lag effects of temperature extremes without involvement of mortality.
Goebel, M.-O., Bachmann, J., Reichstein, M., Janssens, I. A. & Guggenberger, G. Soil water repellency and its implications for organic matter decomposition—is there a link to extreme climatic events? Glob. Change Biol. 17, 2640–2656 (2011). This paper reviews how soil hydrological properties change persistently in response to climate extremes.
