Knowledge of the vegetation and environment of eastern North America during the Last
Glacial Maximum (LGM) is important to understanding postglacial vegetational and …

科学家早已注意到, 具有长叶寿命的植物通常生长于营养和(或) 水分较为缺乏的环境,
而具短叶寿命的植物一般生长在具有较高的营养可利用性地带. 国外大量的实验研究结果表明 …

Regional phenology is important in ecosystem simulation models and coupled
biosphere/atmosphere models. In the continental United States, the timing of the onset of …

A primary objective of the Earth Observing System (EOS) is to develop and validate
algorithms to estimate leaf area index (L), fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active …

Physiological ecology of forest production was originally planned as a second edition to the
well-known book by the same name, published 25 years ago ( Landsberg 1986). The …

Ecosystem simulation models use descriptive input parameters to establish the physiology,
biochemistry, structure, and allocation patterns of vegetation functional types, or biomes. For …

Correlative approaches to understanding the climatic controls of vegetation distribution have
exhibited at least two important weaknesses: they have been conceptually divorced across …

Global data sets provide strong evidence of convergence for leaf structure with leaf longevity
such that species having thick leaves, low specific leaf area, low mass‐based nitrogen …

Forest management is a complex process that now incorporates information obtained from
many sources. It is increasingly obvious that the physiological status of the trees in a forest …

1 Innate mean relative growth rate (mean RGR) of seedlings is a key attribute for the
performance of species in their natural habitats. This study aimed firstly at identifying easily …
