Urbanization represents an unintentional global experiment that can provide insights into
how species will respond and interact under future global change scenarios. Cities produce …

We propose the Breathing Earth System Simulator (BESS), an upscaling approach to
quantify global gross primary productivity and evapotranspiration using MODIS with a spatial …

The increasing air temperatures central to climate change predictions have the potential to
alter forest ecosystem function and structure by exceeding temperatures optimal for carbon …

The response of photosynthesis to temperature is a central facet of plant response to
climate. Such responses have been found to be highly variable among species and among …

Plant temperature responses vary geographically, reflecting thermally contrasting habitats
and long‐term species adaptations to their climate of origin. Plants also can acclimate to fast …

E ucalyptus species are grown widely outside of their native ranges in plantations on all
vegetated continents of the world. We predicted that such a plantation species would show …

Abstract “Least‐cost theory” posits that C3 plants should balance rates of photosynthetic
water loss and carboxylation in relation to the relative acquisition and maintenance costs of …

Field spectroscopy is a powerful tool for monitoring leaf functional traits in situ, but it remains
unclear whether universal statistical models can be developed to predict traits from spectral …

As a widely used watershed model for assessing impacts of anthropogenic and natural
disturbances on water quantity and quality, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) has …

Decadal changes in masting behaviour—directional changes in seed production with
fluctuations on a decadal time‐scale—are attracting widespread attention in the context of …
