Forest ecosystems with long-lasting human imprints can emerge worldwide as outcomes of
land-use cessation. However, the interaction of these anthropogenic legacies with climate …

Natural forest expansion (NFE), that is, the establishment of secondary forest on non-
forested land through natural succession, has substantially contributed to the widespread …

Global soil nitrogen (N) cycling remains poorly understood due to its complex driving
mechanisms. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of global soil δ15N, a stable …

Forests have expanded across Europe over the last centuries as a consequence of farmland
(agricultural and pasture) abandonment. Agricultural practices usually increase soil fertility …

Water‐use efficiency (WUE) is affected by multiple leaf traits, including stomatal morphology.
However, the impact of stomatal morphology on WUE across different ontogenetic stages of …

Herbivore grazing has long-lasting effects on the structure and functions of grassland
ecosystems, even after the grazing pressure has ceased. These lasting effects are known as …

As an essential nutrient, Nitrogen (N) availability is fundamental in evaluating forest
productivity, and as such, understanding the effects of changing atmospheric N inputs in …

Understanding the relationship between forest management and water use efficiency (WUE)
is important for evaluating forest adaptability to climate change. However, the effects of …

The influence of the ancient landscape configuration and the land use legacies on forest
cover change has been thoroughly investigated in temperate and tropical forests while it …

Legacies of human land use have the potential to impact demographic responses to climate.
However, few studies have investigated the interactive effects of land use legacies and …
