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 …

Background Investigating the causes and consequences of intraspecific trait variation (ITV)
in plants is not novel, as it has long been recognized that such variation shapes biotic and …

Humanity has become a dominant force in sha** the face of Earth 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
An emerging question is how the overall material output of human activities compares to the …

Plant functional traits can predict community assembly and ecosystem functioning and are
thus widely used in global models of vegetation dynamics and land–climate feedbacks. Still …

There is mounting evidence of species redistribution as climate warms. Yet, our knowledge
of the coupling between species range shifts and isotherm shifts remains limited. Here, we …

Abstract The Community Land Model (CLM) is the land component of the Community Earth
System Model (CESM) and is used in several global and regional modeling systems. In this …

This paper describes the GISS‐E2. 1 contribution to the Coupled Model Intercomparison
Project, Phase 6 (CMIP6). This model version differs from the predecessor model (GISS‐E2) …

Increasing soil carbon and nitrogen storage can help mitigate climate change and sustain
soil fertility,. A large number of biodiversity-manipulation experiments collectively suggest …

Microplastics can affect biophysical properties of the soil. However, little is known about the
cascade of events in fundamental levels of terrestrial ecosystems, ie, starting with the …

We document the development of the first version of the UK Earth System Model UKESM1.
The model represents a major advance on its predecessor HadGEM2‐ES, with …
