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 …

Drylands are an essential component of the Earth System and are among the most
vulnerable to climate change. In this Review, we synthesize observational and modelling …

Fire activity in Australia is strongly affected by high inter-annual climate variability and
extremes. Through changes in the climate, anthropogenic climate change has the potential …

The enhanced vegetation productivity driven by increased concentrations of carbon dioxide
(CO2)[ie, the CO2 fertilization effect (CFE)] sustains an important negative feedback on …

Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is increasing, which increases leaf‐scale
photosynthesis and intrinsic water‐use efficiency. These direct responses have the potential …

Abstract Theory predicts that rising CO2 increases global photosynthesis, a process known
as CO2 fertilization, and that this is responsible for much of the current terrestrial carbon …

Drylands cover 41% of the earth's land surface and include 45% of the world's agricultural
land. These regions are among the most vulnerable ecosystems to anthropogenic climate …

Global photosynthesis is increasing with elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations, a
response known as the CO2 fertilization effect (CFE), but the key processes of CFE are not …

Abstract Mitigation pathways by Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) describe future
emissions that keep global warming below specific temperature limits and are compared …

Enhanced CO2 assimilation by forests as atmospheric CO2 concentration rises could slow
the rate of CO2 increase if the assimilated carbon is allocated to long-lived biomass …
