Evidence and attribution of the enhanced land carbon sink
Climate change has been partially mitigated by an increasing net land carbon sink in the
terrestrial biosphere; understanding the processes that drive this sink is thus essential for …

No trends in spring and autumn phenology during the global warming hiatus
Phenology plays a fundamental role in regulating photosynthesis, evapotranspiration, and
surface energy fluxes and is sensitive to climate change. The global mean surface air …
