Water temperature is one of the main abiotic factors affecting the structure and functioning of
aquatic ecosystems and its alteration can have important effects on biological communities …

Climate change is predicted to dramatically alter biological diversity and distributions,
driving extirpations, extinctions, and extensive range shifts across the globe. Warming can …

Global warming and the loss of biodiversity through human activities (eg, land-use change,
pollution, invasive species) are two of the most profound threats to the functional integrity of …

At present, climate change has brought huge challenges to vegetation and ecosystems. As
the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is a sensitive area of global climate change, the dynamic …

According to the temperature‐size rule, warming of aquatic ecosystems is generally
predicted to increase individual growth rates but reduce asymptotic body sizes of …

Ecosystem respiration is a major component of the global terrestrial carbon cycle and is
strongly influenced by temperature. The global extent of the temperature–ecosystem …

The temperature dependence of highly conserved subcellular metabolic systems affects
ecological patterns and processes across scales, from organisms to ecosystems. Population …

Abstract Changes in terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP) caused by rapid
urbanization may result in negative effects on ecosystem services and ecosystem health …

Quantitative assessment of vegetation drought risk is crucial for addressing drought
problems and vegetation management under global warming. In this study, we employed a …

Exceeding thermal thresholds causes irreversible damage and ultimately loss of leaves. The
lowland tropics are among the warmest forested biomes, but little is known about heat …
