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 …

Increasing evidence—synthesized in this paper—shows that economic growth contributes to
biodiversity loss via greater resource consumption and higher emissions. Nonetheless, a …

Intercropping, the simultaneous production of multiple crops on the same field, provides
opportunities for the sustainable intensification of agriculture if it can provide a greater yield …

Although the terrestrial biosphere absorbs about 25 per cent of anthropogenic carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions, the rate of land carbon uptake remains highly uncertain, leading to …

Background Plant phenology has crucial biological, physical, and chemical effects on the
biosphere. Phenological drivers have largely been studied, but the role of plant microbiota …

Earlier spring leaf unfolding is a frequently observed response of plants to climate
warming,,,. Many deciduous tree species require chilling for dormancy release, and warming …

Global climate is changing faster than humankind has ever experienced. Model-based
predictions of future climate are becoming more complex and precise, but they still lack …

One hundred years ago, Andrew D. Hopkins estimated the progressive delay in tree leaf-out
with increasing latitude, longitude, and elevation, referred to as “Hopkins' bioclimatic law.” …

Vegetation phenology is considered an important biological indicator in understanding the
behaviour of ecosystems and how it responds to environmental cues. Changes in vegetation …

As the Earth's third pole, the Tibetan Plateau has experienced a pronounced warming in the
past decades. Recent studies reported that the start of the vegetation growing season (SOS) …
