A starting guide to root ecology: strengthening ecological concepts and standardising root classification, sampling, processing and trait measurements
In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

Forest response to elevated CO2 is conserved across a broad range of productivity
Climate change predictions derived from coupled carbon-climate models are highly
dependent on assumptions about feedbacks between the biosphere and atmosphere. One …

Shrub encroachment in North American grasslands: shifts in growth form dominance rapidly alters control of ecosystem carbon inputs
Shrub encroachment into grass‐dominated biomes is occurring globally due to a variety of
anthropogenic activities, but the consequences for carbon (C) inputs, storage and cycling …

Elevated CO2 increases tree‐level intrinsic water use efficiency: insights from carbon and oxygen isotope analyses in tree rings across three forest FACE sites
G Battipaglia, M Saurer, P Cherubini… - New …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Elevated CO 2 increases intrinsic water use efficiency (WUE i) of forests, but the magnitude
of this effect and its interaction with climate is still poorly understood. We combined tree ring …

Carbon Flux and Growth in Mature Deciduous Forest Trees Exposed to Elevated CO2
Whether rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations will cause forests to grow
faster and store more carbon is an open question. Using free air CO2 release in combination …

Increases in nitrogen uptake rather than nitrogen-use efficiency support higher rates of temperate forest productivity under elevated CO2
Forest ecosystems are important sinks for rising concentrations of atmospheric CO2. In
previous research, we showed that net primary production (NPP) increased by 23±2% when …
