Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is increasing, which increases leaf‐scale
photosynthesis and intrinsic water‐use efficiency. These direct responses have the potential …

[CO2] on the terrestrial C sink 655 III. Carbon and nutrient storage in plants and its modelling …

The frequency and intensity of droughts have increased over the decades, leading to
increased forest decline. The response of forest to drought can be evaluated by both its …

The impacts of climate extremes on terrestrial ecosystems are poorly understood but
important for predicting carbon cycle feedbacks to climate change. Coupled climate–carbon …

Tree‐ring records provide global high‐resolution information on tree‐species responses to
global change, forest carbon and water dynamics, and past climate variability and extremes …

AmeriFlux scientists were early adopters of a network-enabled approach to ecosystem
science that continues to transform the study of land-atmosphere interactions. In the 20 …

The demand for large-scale and long-term information on tree growth is increasing rapidly
as environmental change research strives to quantify and forecast the impacts of continued …

For over two decades, the AmeriFlux network has quantified the breathing of the biosphere,
as defined by measuring the flux densities of carbon dioxide and water vapor exchange …

Predicting long‐term trends in forest growth requires accurate characterisation of how the
relationship between forest productivity and climatic stress varies across climatic regimes …

Vegetation and the water cycles are inherently coupled across a wide range of spatial and
temporal scales. Water availability interacts with plant ecophysiology and controls …
