      abstract = {This book systematically illustrates the underlying  mechanisms of spatial variation in ecosystem carbon fluxes.  It presents the regulation of climate pattern, together  with its impacts on ecosystem traits, which yields new  insights into the terrestrial carbon cycle and offers a  theoretic basis for large-scale carbon pattern assessment.  By means of integrated analysis, the clear spatial pattern  of carbon fluxes (including gross primary production,  ecosystem respiration and net ecosystem production) along  latitudes is clarified, from regions to the entire Northern  Hemisphere. Temperature and precipitation patterns play a  vital role in carbon spatial pattern formation, which  strongly supports the application of the climate-driven  theory to the Northern Hemisphere. With regard to the  spatial pattern, the book demonstrates the covariation  between production and respiration, offering new  information to promote current respiration model  development. Moreover, it reveals the high carbon uptake of  subtropical forests across the East Asian monsoon region,  which challenges the view that only mid- to high-latitude  terrestrial ecosystems are principal carbon sink regions,  and improves our understanding of carbon budgets and  distribution. .},
