The global demand for food and bioenergy changes associated with land use and land
cover change (LULCC) has raised concerns about the environment, global warming, and …

Ongoing climate change poses significant threats to plant function and distribution.
Increased temperatures and altered precipitation regimes amplify drought frequency and …

Forest ecosystems depend on their capacity to withstand and recover from natural and
anthropogenic perturbations (that is, their resilience) 1. Experimental evidence of sudden …

The character and health of ecosystems worldwide is tightly coupled to changes in Earth's
climate. Theory suggests that ecosystem resilience—the ability of ecosystems to resist and …

The identification of properties that contribute to the persistence and resilience of
ecosystems despite climate change constitutes a research priority of global relevance. Here …

Climate change has far‐reaching impacts on ecosystems. Recent attempts to quantify such
impacts focus on measuring exposure to climate change but largely ignore ecosystem …

Atmospheric dryness, as indicated by vapor pressure deficit (VPD), has a strong influence
on forest greenhouse gas exchange with the atmosphere. In this study, we used long‐term …

Global climate change is projected to lead to an increase in both the areal extent and
degree of aridity in the world's drylands. At the same time, the majority of drylands are …

Potential climate tip** points pose a growing risk for societies, and policy is calling for
improved anticipation of them. Satellite remote sensing can play a unique role in identifying …

Vegetation coverage is a critical factor in soil conservation and improving the ecological
environment. As an important ecological corridor connecting China's southwest and …
