Numerous current efforts seek to improve the representation of ecosystem ecology and
vegetation demographic processes within Earth System Models (ESM s). These …

Tropical forests vary widely in biomass carbon (C) stocks and fluxes even after controlling for
forest age. A mechanistic understanding of this variation is critical to accurately predicting …

It is unequivocal that the increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4)
and nitrous oxide (N2O) since the pre-industrial period are caused by human activities. The …

This Report responds to the invitation for IPCC?... to provide a Special Report in 2018 on the
impacts of global warming of 1.5° C above pre-industrial levels and related global …

Results from the fully-, biogeochemically-, and radiatively-coupled simulations in which CO
2 increases at a rate of 1% per year (1pctCO2) from its pre-industrial value are analyzed to …

The majority of the Earth's terrestrial carbon is stored in the soil. If anthropogenic warming
stimulates the loss of this carbon to the atmosphere, it could drive further planetary …

The projected loss of soil carbon to the atmosphere resulting from climate change is a
potentially large but highly uncertain feedback to warming. The magnitude of this feedback …

Fresh carbon input (above and belowground) contributes to soil carbon sequestration, but
also accelerates decomposition of soil organic matter through biological priming …

Plant functional traits determine vegetation responses to environmental variation, but
variation in trait values is large, even within a single site. Likewise, uncertainty in how these …

Soil is the largest terrestrial carbon reservoir and may influence the sign and magnitude of
carbon cycle–climate feedbacks. Many Earth system models (ESMs) estimate a significant …
