Climate regulation processes are linked to the functional composition of plant communities in European forests, shrublands, and grasslands
Terrestrial ecosystems affect climate by reflecting solar irradiation, evaporative cooling, and
carbon sequestration. Yet very little is known about how plant traits affect climate regulation …
