At the core of plant regeneration, temperature and water supply are critical drivers for seed
dormancy (initiation, break) and germination. Hence, global climate change is altering these …

Invasive alien plant species threaten native biodiversity, disrupt ecosystem functions and
can cause large economic damage. Plant invasions have been predicted to further increase …

We explore the role of lakes in carbon cycling and global climate, examine the mechanisms
influencing carbon pools and transformations in lakes, and discuss how the metabolism of …

The relationship between plant invasions and global change is complex. Whereas some
components of global change, such as rising CO 2, usually promote invasion, other …

We review the evidence of how organisms and populations are currently responding to
climate change through phenotypic plasticity, genotypic evolution, changes in distribution …

The degree to which elevated CO2 concentrations (e [CO2]) increase the amount of carbon
(C) assimilated by vegetation plays a key role in climate change. However, due to the short …

Feedbacks of terrestrial ecosystems to atmospheric and climate change depend on soil
ecosystem dynamics. Soil ecosystems can directly and indirectly respond to climate change …

Atmospheric and climatic change can alter plant biomass production and plant community
composition. However, we know little about how climate change‐induced alterations in …

Climate change already challenges people's livelihood globally and it also affects plant
health. Rising temperatures facilitate the introduction and establishment of unwanted …
