Abstract Micro (nano) plastics (MNPs) are categorized as emerging persistent pollutants that
occur widely in various ecosystems. However, their impacts on terrestrial plants (particularly …

Remote sensing has transformed the monitoring of life on Earth by revealing spatial and
temporal dimensions of biological diversity through structural, compositional and functional …

In this study, Cucurbita pepo L., one of the most cultivated, consumed and economically
important crop worldwide, was used as model plant to test the toxic effects of the four most …

Plant trait variation drives plant function, community composition and ecosystem processes.
However, our current understanding of trait variation disproportionately relies on …

The leaf economics spectrum, and the global spectrum of plant forms and functions revealed
fundamental axes of variation in plant traits, which represent different ecological strategies …

Increasing soil carbon and nitrogen storage can help mitigate climate change and sustain
soil fertility,. A large number of biodiversity-manipulation experiments collectively suggest …

Vegetation composition shifts, and in particular, shrub expansion across the Arctic tundra
are some of the most important and widely observed responses of high-latitude ecosystems …

Forests constitute important ecosystems in the global carbon cycle. However, how trees and
environmental conditions interact to determine the amount of organic carbon stored in forest …

Microorganisms are critical in terrestrial carbon cycling because their growth, activity and
interactions with the environment largely control the fate of recent plant carbon inputs as well …

A global network of long‐term carbon and water flux measurements has existed since the
late 1990s. With its representative sampling of the terrestrial biosphere's climate and …
