The sustainability of life on Earth is under increasing threat due to human-induced climate
change. This perilous change in the Earth's climate is caused by increases in carbon dioxide …

Abstract Mt. Everest (Qomolangma or Sagarmatha), the highest mount on Earth and located
in the central Himalayas between China and Nepal, is characterized by highly concentrated …

Climatic warming alters the onset, duration and cessation of the vegetative season. While
previous studies have shown a tight link between thermal conditions and leaf phenology …

Climate warming is changing the aboveground phenology of plants around the world.
However, the effects of warming on the belowground phenology of plants remain relatively …

The paucity of investigations of carbon (C) dynamics through the soil profile with warming
makes it challenging to evaluate the terrestrial C feedback to climate change. Soil microbes …

Long-term observations have shown that many plants and aboveground animals have
changed their phenology patterns due to warmer temperatures over the past decades …

Alpine plants have evolved a tight seasonal cycle of growth and senescence to cope with a
short growing season. The potential growing season length (GSL) is increasing because of …

Rising temperature shifts plant phenology. Chinese cities, experiencing extensive
expansion and intensive warming, spanning a wide latitudinal range, might provide ideal …

Future climate may profoundly impact the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. However, we
do not know well how the functioning of different types of grassland ecosystems is …

Plant phenology, the timing of recurrent biological events, shows key and complex response
to climate warming, with consequences for ecosystem functions and services. A key …
