Nitrogen (N) is considered as one of the most important plant macronutrients and proper
management of N therefore is a pre-requisite for modern agriculture. Continuous satellite …

Quantifying global terrestrial photosynthesis is essential to understanding the global carbon
cycle and the climate system. Remote sensing has played a pivotal role in advancing our …

The enhanced vegetation productivity driven by increased concentrations of carbon dioxide
(CO2)[ie, the CO2 fertilization effect (CFE)] sustains an important negative feedback on …

Plant functional traits can predict community assembly and ecosystem functioning and are
thus widely used in global models of vegetation dynamics and land–climate feedbacks. Still …

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 …

This article describes the new Earth system model (ESM), the Model for Interdisciplinary
Research on Climate, Earth System version 2 for Long-term simulations (MIROC-ES2L) …

Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions and their
redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere–the global carbon …

Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological
characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect …

Earth is home to a remarkable diversity of plant forms and life histories, yet comparatively
few essential trait combinations have proved evolutionarily viable in today's terrestrial …

Plants invest a considerable amount of leaf nitrogen in the photosynthetic enzyme ribulose-
1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (RuBisCO), forming a strong coupling of nitrogen …
