Agroforestry (AF)-based adaptation to global climate change can consist of (1) reversal of
negative trends in diverse tree cover as generic portfolio risk management strategy;(2) …

Abstract Changes in the life cycle of organisms (ie phenology) are one of the most widely
used early-warning indicators of climate change, yet this remains poorly understood …

The timing of the end of the vegetation growing season (EOS) plays a key role in terrestrial
ecosystem carbon and nutrient cycles. Autumn phenology is, however, still poorly …

Autumn phenology plays a critical role in regulating climate–biosphere interactions.
However, the climatic drivers of autumn phenology remain unclear. In this study, we applied …

We assessed whether diversity in plant hydraulic traits can explain the observed diversity in
plant responses to water stress in seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF s). The Ecosystem …

To predict forest response to long‐term climate change with high confidence requires that
dynamic global vegetation models (DGVM s) be successfully tested against ecosystem …

Medal (note the leaf scroll at the top) received by W. Adams at the Missouri State Science
Fair. The backdrop of leaves includes those from (beginning in the upper left, moving …

Seasonal dynamics in the vertical distribution of leaf area index (LAI) may impact the
seasonality of forest productivity in Amazonian forests. However, until recently, fine‐scale …

Land surface phenology (LSP) has been widely used as the “footprint” of urbanization and
global climate change. Shifts of LSP have cascading effects on food production, carbon …

The seasonal climate drivers of the carbon cycle in tropical forests remain poorly known,
although these forests account for more carbon assimilation and storage than any other …
