Plant phenology, the annually recurring sequence of plant developmental stages, is
important for plant functioning and ecosystem services and their biophysical and …

Predicted increases in future global temperatures require us to better understand the
dimensions of heat stress experienced by plants. Here we highlight four key areas for …

Abstract Earth System Science (ESS) is a rapidly emerging transdisciplinary endeavour
aimed at understanding the structure and functioning of the Earth as a complex, adaptive …

In the context of global warming, the advancement of spring phenology in northern and
temperate regions due to increased temperatures has been widely reported. Early and …

Global climate is changing faster than humankind has ever experienced. Model-based
predictions of future climate are becoming more complex and precise, but they still lack …

Global warming may have profound effects on terrestrial ecosystems. However, a
comprehensive evaluation of the effects of warming on ecosystem nitrogen (N) pools and …

Open top chambers (OTCs) were adopted as the recommended warming mechanism by the
International Tundra Experiment network in the early 1990s. Since then, OTCs have been …

We review observational, experimental, and model results on how plants respond to
extreme climatic conditions induced by changing climatic variability. Distinguishing between …

Macroclimatic variation along latitudinal gradients provides an excellent natural laboratory to
investigate the role of temperature and the potential impacts of climate warming on terrestrial …

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from soil contribute to global warming and are in turn
substantially affected by climate change. However, climate change impacts on N2O …
