Large swathes of standing dead trees or ‘ghost forests’ can form owing to rising sea levels in coastal areas, but the extent to which this occurs is unclear. This study maps ghost forests at the indiv...

Widespread evidence of decreasing leaf nutrients has raised concerns about ecosystem productivity under global change. Interpreting trends in leaf ...

A machine learning approach using long-term observations of eddy covariance finds that the increase in plant intrinsic water-use efficiency under higher CO2 levels, across diverse ecosystems, is drive...

Analysis of land–atmosphere water and CO2 fluxes suggests that reduced water use by vegetation, rather than increased carbon uptake, is the driving factor behind the well-documented increase in vegeta...

Short-duration rainfall extremes are determined by complex processes that are affected by the warming climate. This Review assesses the evidence for the intensification of short-duration rainfall extr...

A machine learning approach using long-term observations of eddy covariance finds that the increase in plant intrinsic water-use efficiency under higher CO2 levels, across diverse ecosystems, is drive...

Rising CO₂ and warming enhance vegetation greening, but drought, heat stress, and resource limits constrain this trend. Here, the authors show that within a year, increased early- and peak- season gre...

Using a causality-guided explainable AI framework, Liu et al. show soil moisture dominates vapour pressure deficit in shaping global photosynthesis during water-limited conditions.

We have incorporated a novel, advanceable human component in an Earth system model to simulate human-Earth feedbacks Including terrestrial productivity feedbacks from the Earth to the human syste...

The efficiency with which plants use carbon assimilated through photosynthesis has a key role in determining natureʼs capacity to offset carbon dioxide emissions. This study leverages global eddy cova...

Satellite observations suggest that prolonged hot–dry conditions induced by Rossby waves in the jet stream reduce ecosystem productivity, providing insights into the potential impacts of a future warm...

The positive effects of elevated nutrient on belowground biomass were more pronounced for communities dominated by “fast” species. In communities dominated by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi-associated ...

Additional sink inferred by inversions in just 16% of North America accounts for the discrepancy between top-down and bottom-up estimates Statistically significant differences between top-down an...

AbstractBackground and aims. Dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) are essential for quantifying the role of terrestrial ecosystems in the Earth’s clima

Soil respiration (Rs) is a crucial component of the terrestrial ecosystem carbon (C) cycle, which significantly regulates atmospheric CO2 concentratio…

Natural selection favors growth by selecting a combination of plant traits that maximize photosynthetic CO2 assimilation at the lowest combined carbon costs of resource acquisition and use. We quant...

Terrestrial sequestration of carbon has mitigated ≈30% of anthropogenic carbon emissions. However, its distribution across different pools, live or dead biomass and soil and sedimentary organic carbon...
