Climate change and human activities have caused a wide range of ecological risks in the
Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) over the past two decades, such as land degradation and …

Organic matter accumulation in soil is understood as the result of the dynamics between
mineral‐associated (more decomposed, microbial derived) organic matter and free …

Ecosystems contribute to economic development through the supply of ecosystem services
such as food and fresh water. Information on ecosystems and their services is required to …

Terrestrial net primary production (NPP) varies across global climate gradients, but the
mechanisms through which climate drives this variation remain subject to debate …

Revegetation has significantly contributed to improvements in ecosystem services, such as
carbon sequestration and soil retention. Yet, vegetation expansion in water-limited regions …

An increasingly urbanized world is one of the most prominent examples of global
environmental change. Across the globe, urban parks are designed and managed in a …

Background Process-based models are widely used to simulate forest productivity, but
complex parameterization and calibration challenge the application and development of …

The allocation of net primary production (NPP) between above-and belowground
components is a key step of ecosystem material cycling and energy flows, which determines …

Vegetation productivity and ecosystem carbon sink capacity are significantly influenced by
seasonal weather patterns. The time lags between changes in these patterns and …

Net primary productivity (NPP) is a key ecosystem function of plant communities. Climate
change is expected to affect NPP both directly and indirectly through associated edaphic …
