Complexity revealed in the greening of the Arctic
As the Arctic warms, vegetation is responding, and satellite measures indicate widespread
greening at high latitudes. This 'greening of the Arctic'is among the world's most important …

Elevated temperature shifts soil N cycling from microbial immobilization to enhanced mineralization, nitrification and denitrification across global terrestrial ecosystems
We assessed the response of soil microbial nitrogen (N) cycling and associated functional
genes to elevated temperature at the global scale. A meta‐analysis of 1,270 observations …

Phenological mismatches between above-and belowground plant responses to climate warming
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 …

Inorganic carbon losses by soil acidification jeopardize global efforts on carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation
Soil plays a significant role in controlling the global carbon (C) cycle. Studies on climate
change mitigation have focused entirely on soil organic carbon (SOC) to increase C …

Peatland warming strongly increases fine-root growth
Belowground climate change responses remain a key unknown in the Earth system. Plant
fine-root response is especially important to understand because fine roots respond quickly …

Alpine grassland plants grow earlier and faster but biomass remains unchanged over 35 years of climate change
Satellite data indicate significant advancement in alpine spring phenology over decades of
climate warming, but corresponding field evidence is scarce. It is also unknown whether this …

Late-spring frost risk between 1959 and 2017 decreased in North America but increased in Europe and Asia
Late-spring frosts (LSFs) affect the performance of plants and animals across the world's
temperate and boreal zones, but despite their ecological and economic impact on …

Experimental warming causes mismatches in alpine plant-microbe-fauna phenology
Long-term observations have shown that many plants and aboveground animals have
changed their phenology patterns due to warmer temperatures over the past decades …

[HTML][HTML] Climate sensitivity and drought seasonality determine post-drought growth recovery of Quercus petraea and Quercus robur in Europe
Recent studies have identified strong relationships between delayed recovery of tree growth
after drought and tree mortality caused by subsequent droughts. These observations raise …
