The degree to which elevated CO2 concentrations (e [CO2]) increase the amount of carbon
(C) assimilated by vegetation plays a key role in climate change. However, due to the short …

Tropical savannas have been increasingly targeted for carbon sequestration by
afforestation, assuming large gains in soil organic carbon (SOC) with increasing tree cover …

Precipitation events have been predicted and observed to become fewer, but larger, as the
atmosphere warms. Water-limited ecosystems are especially sensitive to changes in water …

Aim Many freshwater fishes are migrating poleward to more thermally suitable habitats in
response to warming climates. In this study, we aimed to identify which freshwater fishes are …

The ongoing loss of large trees and densification of shrubs are two prevalent processes that
take place in African savannas, with profound consequences for their structure and function …

African savannas are experiencing anthropogenically-induced stressors that are
accelerating the increase of woody vegetation cover. To combat this, land managers …

Plant essential macronutrients like nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) can limit savanna tree
growth and are important determinants of savanna vegetation dynamics, along with rainfall …

Abstract Changes in climate and land management over the last half‐century have favoured
woody plants native to grasslands and led to the rapid expansion of woody species. Despite …

Many savannas are experiencing increased cover of trees and shrubs, resulting in reduced
herbaceous productivity, shifts in savanna functional structure and potential reductions in …

Habitat heterogeneity is a key driver of the diversity and distribution of species. African
savannas are experiencing changes in their vegetation structure causing shifts towards …
