In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

With the rapid accumulation of plant trait data, major opportunities have arisen for the
integration of these data into predicting ecosystem primary productivity across a range of …

Tropical forests dominate global terrestrial carbon (C) exchange, and recent droughts in the
Amazon Basin have contributed to short‐term declines in terrestrial carbon dioxide uptake …

It is largely unknown how South America's Andean forests affect the global carbon cycle,
and thus regulate climate change. Here, we measure aboveground carbon dynamics over …

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 …

This review discusses observed hydroclimatic trends and future climate projections for the
Amazon. Warming over this region is a fact, but the magnitude of the warming trend varies …

A rich understanding of the productivity, carbon and nutrient cycling of terrestrial ecosystems
is essential in the context of understanding, modelling and managing the future response of …

One of the major challenges in ecology is to understand how ecosystems respond to
changes in environmental conditions, and how taxonomic and functional diversity mediate …

While temperature responses of photosynthesis and plant respiration are known to
acclimate over time in many species, few studies have been designed to directly compare …

Aim This study aimed to infer the allocation of belowground net primary productivity (BNPP)
to sequential soil depths down to 2 m across the globe at a 1 km resolution and assess …
