Leaf coloring and fall mark the end of the growing season (EOS), playing essential roles in
nutrient cycling, resource allocation, ecological interactions, and as climate change …

Abstract (300 words) The phenology of montane conifer forests is likely to shift in response
to climate change and altered seasonal dynamics of light, temperature, and moisture. Solar …

Warming temperatures and rising moisture deficits are expected to increase the rates of
background tree mortality–low amounts of tree mortality (~ 0.5%–2% year− 1) …

Snowmelt is a major source for summer soil water storage that supports tree growth in the
Mediterranean climate of the Sierra Nevada, California. The timing and magnitude of snow …

The Mediterranean Basin has experienced one of the highest warming rates on earth during
the last few decades, and climate projections predict water scarcity in the future. Mid-latitude …

Seasonal snow cover is important in sha** ecosystem carbon uptake across many
regions of the world, however forest responses to projected declines in snowpack remain …

Vegetation phenology such as the start (SOS) and end (EOS) of the growing season,
physiology (represented by seasonal maximum capacity of carbon uptake, GPPmax), and …

High‐elevation montane forests are disproportionately important to carbon sequestration in
semiarid climates where low elevations are dry and characterized by low carbon density …

The interception of snow by the canopy is an important process in the water and energy
balance in cold‐region coniferous forests. Direct measurements of canopy snow interception …

Carbon uptake by vegetation plays a vital role in the global carbon cycle. Annual gross
primary productivity (AGPP) represents the total amount of carbon compounds produced by …
