The role of plants in sequestering carbon is a critical component in mitigating climate change. A key aspect of this role involves plant nitrogen (N) uptake (Nup) and N use efficiency (NUE), as these factors directly influence the capacity of plants to sto ...
Journal of Ecology published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of British Ecological Society.Tree species diversity in forest ecosystems could reduce their vulnerability to extreme droughts through improved microclimate and below-ground water source parti ...
Climate change exposes ecosystems to strong and rapid changes in their environmental boundary conditions mainly due to the altered temperature and precipitation patterns. It is still poorly understood how fast interlinked ecosystem processes respond to alt ...
Oxygen isotope compositions of fossil foraminifera tests are commonly used proxies for ocean paleotemperatures, with reconstructions spanning the last 112 million years. However, the isotopic composition of these calcitic tests can be substantially altered ...
Water deficit in the atmosphere and soil are two key interactive factors that constrain transpiration and vegetation productivity. It is not clear which of these two factors is more important for the water and carbon flux response to drought stress in ecos ...
