The use of fossil fuels and fertilizers has increased the amount of biologically reactive
nitrogen in the atmosphere over the past century. As a consequence, forests in industrialized …

Significantly more carbon is stored in the world's soils—including peatlands, wetlands and
permafrost—than is present in the atmosphere. Disagreement exists, however, regarding the …

The leaf economics spectrum, and the global spectrum of plant forms and functions revealed
fundamental axes of variation in plant traits, which represent different ecological strategies …

Recent remote-sensing-based global carbon, water and energy budgets over land still
include considerable uncertainties. Most existing flux products of terrestrial carbon, water …

It has been suggested that diverse forests utilize canopy space more efficiently than species‐
poor ones, as mixing species with complementary architectural and physiological traits …

The role of time in ecology has a long history of investigation, but ecologists have largely
restricted their attention to the influence of concurrent abiotic conditions on rates and …

Understanding the trend of vegetation change and its reaction to climate variation is
important for revealing the mechanism of ecosystem behavior. However, current research …

Peatland ecosystems are globally important carbon stores. Disturbances, such as drainage
and climate drying, act to lower peatland water table depths, consequently enhancing soil …

Soil respiration (Rs), the soil‐to‐atmosphere flux of CO2, is a dominant but uncertain part of
the carbon cycle, even after decades of study. This review focuses on progress in …

This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the different methods that
separate net ecosystem exchange (NEE) into its major components, gross ecosystem …
