integration of these data into predicting ecosystem primary productivity across a range of …

The relationship between stomatal traits and environmental drivers across plant
communities has important implications for ecosystem carbon and water fluxes, but it has …

Abstract Background and Aims Leaf size has considerable ecological relevance, making it
desirable to obtain leaf size estimations for as many species worldwide as possible. Current …

Quantifying and predicting variation in gross primary productivity (GPP) is important for
accurate assessment of the ecosystem carbon budget under global change. Scaling traits to …

Old trees have many ecological and socio-cultural values. However, knowledge of the
factors influencing their long-term persistence in human-dominated landscapes is limited …

Compared to planted forest ecosystems (PFE), natural forest ecosystems (NFE) generally
have a longer history and theoretically have stronger environmental adaptability. Changes …

Changes in net primary productivity (NPP) to global change have been studied, yet the
relative impacts of global change on grassland productivity at large scales remain poorly …
