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 …

Compound weather and climate events describe combinations of multiple climate drivers
and/or hazards that contribute to societal or environmental risk. Although many climate …

Climate change is expected to impact the functioning of the entire Earth system. However,
detecting changes in ecosystem dynamics and attributing such change to anthropogenic …

ES 6: 3-5 Replace “It is unequivocal that emissions of the well-mixed greenhouse gases
(GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2 O) from human activities …

Although elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (eCO2) has substantial indirect effects on
vegetation carbon uptake via associated climate change, their dynamics remain unclear …

Despite the growing interest in predicting global and regional trends in vegetation
productivity in response to a changing climate, changes in water constraint on vegetation …

Climate extremes such as droughts and heatwaves have a large impact on terrestrial carbon
uptake by reducing gross primary production (GPP). While the evidence for increasing …

The time required for an ecosystem to recover from severe drought is a key component of
ecological resilience. The phenology effects on drought recovery are, however, poorly …

Vegetation greenness has been increasing globally since at least 1981, when satellite
technology enabled large-scale vegetation monitoring. The greening phenomenon, together …

The AR5 concluded that human influence on the climate system is clear, evident from
increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, positive radiative forcing …
