A rich body of knowledge links biodiversity to ecosystem functioning (BEF), but it is primarily
focused on small scales. We review the current theory and identify six expectations for scale …

Abstract Purpose of the Review Weather and climate extremes substantially affect global-
and regional-scale carbon (C) cycling, and thus spatially or temporally extended climatic …

Large datasets of greenhouse gas and energy surface-atmosphere fluxes measured with
the eddy-covariance technique (eg, FLUXNET2015, AmeriFlux BASE) are widely used to …

Forecasted increase drought frequency and severity may drive worldwide declines in forest
productivity. Species‐level responses to a drier world are likely to be influenced by their …

The application of the eddy covariance flux method to measure fluxes of trace gas and
energy between ecosystems and the atmosphere has exploded over the past 25 years. This …

In this paper, we review the state of the art of characterizing and analyzing spatio-temporal
dynamics of soil moisture content at the field scale. We discuss measurement techniques …

The energy balance at most surface-atmosphere flux research sites remains unclosed. The
mechanisms underlying the discrepancy between measured energy inputs and outputs …

Hydrological processes in the humid tropics differ from other regions in having greater
energy inputs and faster rates of change, including human-induced change. Human …

The respiratory release of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the land surface is a major flux in the
global carbon cycle, antipodal to photosynthetic CO2 uptake. Understanding the sensitivity …

This study compared the densest available database of tree-ring growth with the longest
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) information available at the global scale to …
