Tropical ecosystems have the highest levels of biodiversity, cycle more water and absorb
more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem on Earth. Consequently, these ecosystems …

Digital twins (DTs) are an emerging phenomenon in the public and private sectors as a new
tool to monitor and understand systems and processes. DTs have the potential to change …

ES 6: 3-5 Replace “It is unequivocal that emissions of the well-mixed greenhouse gases
(GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2 O) from human activities …

Abstract The Community Land Model (CLM) is the land component of the Community Earth
System Model (CESM) and is used in several global and regional modeling systems. In this …

Atmospheric carbon dioxide enrichment (eCO2) can enhance plant carbon uptake and
growth,,,–, thereby providing an important negative feedback to climate change by slowing …

The capacity for terrestrial ecosystems to sequester additional carbon (C) with rising CO2
concentrations depends on soil nutrient availability,. Previous evidence suggested that …

Accurate representation of photosynthesis in terrestrial biosphere models (TBM s) is
essential for robust projections of global change. However, current representations vary …

Rising atmospheric dryness [vapor pressure deficit (VPD)] can limit photosynthesis and thus
reduce vegetation productivity. Meanwhile, plants can benefit from global warming and the …

Global terrestrial models currently predict that the Amazon rainforest will continue to act as a
carbon sink in the future, primarily owing to the rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) …

Our ability to understand and predict the response of ecosystems to a changing environment
depends on quantifying vegetation functional diversity. However, representing this diversity …
