Plant diversity has a strong impact on a plethora of ecosystem functions and services,
especially ecosystem carbon (C) storage. However, the potential context-dependency of …

Widely recognized as a significant carbon sink, North American forests have experienced a
history of recovery and are facing an uncertain future. This growing carbon sink is dictated …

The uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) by terrestrial ecosystems is critical for moderating
climate change. To provide a ground-based long-term assessment of the contribution of …

The global impacts of biodiversity loss and climate change are interlinked, but the feedbacks
between them are rarely assessed. Areas with greater tree diversity tend to be more …

Carbon stocks in vegetation have a key role in the climate system,,,. However, the
