Leaf Respiration in Terrestrial Biosphere Models

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Plant Respiration: Metabolic Fluxes and Carbon Balance

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 43))

Summary

How leaf respiration (R d) is represented in leading terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs ) is reviewed, followed by an overview of how emerging global datasets provide opportunities to improve parameterization of leaf R d in large-scale models. We first outline how TBMs have historically accounted for variations in respiratory CO2 release in mature leaves, using assumed relationships between leaf nitrogen, photosynthetic capacity and R d. The need for TBMs to account for light inhibition of R d in mature leaves is highlighted, followed by a discussion on how R d of upper canopy leaves is used to predict maintenance respiration in whole plants. We then outline how respiratory energy requirements of growth are accounted for in TBMs, pointing out that current assumptions on the costs of biosynthesis are based on theoretical calculations that may not be valid for all plant species and environments. The chapter then considers how improvements might be made to TBMs with respect to the parameterization of leaf R d. We show how recently compiled datasets provide improved capacity to predict global variations in baseline R d measured at a standard temperature, and how baseline R d likely acclimates to sustained changes in growth temperature. Application of this dataset reveals markedly higher rates of leaf R d than currently predicted by TBMs , suggesting that TBMs may be underestimating global plant respiratory CO2 release. The availability of a new, global dataset on short-term temperature responses of leaf R d is highlighted. Analysis of this dataset reveals that leaf R d does not exhibit the exponential response assumed by most TBMs; rather, the temperature-sensitivity declines as leaves warm, with convergence in the temperature-response across biomes and plant functional types . We show how equations derived from these datasets may provide the TBM community with a new framework to improve representation of mature leaf respiration in TBMs.
