Pervasive shifts in forest dynamics in a changing world
BACKGROUND Forest dynamics arise from the interplay of chronic drivers and transient
disturbances with the demographic processes of recruitment, growth, and mortality. The …

Integrating the evidence for a terrestrial carbon sink caused by increasing atmospheric CO2
Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is increasing, which increases leaf‐scale
photosynthesis and intrinsic water‐use efficiency. These direct responses have the potential …

Understanding the roles of nonstructural carbohydrates in forest trees–from what we can measure to what we want to know
Carbohydrates provide the building blocks for plant structures as well as versatile resources
for metabolic processes. The nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC), mainly sugars and starch …

[HTML][HTML] Surplus carbon drives allocation and plant–soil interactions
Plant growth is usually constrained by the availability of nutrients, water, or temperature,
rather than photosynthetic carbon (C) fixation. Under these conditions leaf growth is …

Forest stand growth dynamics in Central Europe have accelerated since 1870
Forest ecosystems have been exposed to climate change for more than 100 years, whereas
the consequences on forest growth remain elusive. Based on the oldest existing …

Moving beyond photosynthesis: from carbon source to sink-driven vegetation modeling
Knowledge of future terrestrial carbon (C) pools and fluxes is based on simulations by
Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs; Cox et al., 2000; Sitch et al., 2008). For …

No growth stimulation of tropical trees by 150 years of CO2 fertilization but water-use efficiency increased
The biomass of undisturbed tropical forests has likely increased in the past few decades,,
probably as a result of accelerated tree growth. Higher CO2 levels are expected to raise …

No growth stimulation of Canada's boreal forest under half-century of combined warming and CO2 fertilization
Considerable evidence exists that current global temperatures are higher than at any time
during the past millennium. However, the long-term impacts of rising temperatures and …
