Quantifying global terrestrial photosynthesis is essential to understanding the global carbon
cycle and the climate system. Remote sensing has played a pivotal role in advancing our …

In an increasingly urbanized world, air pollution mitigation is considered one of most
important issues in city planning. Urban trees help to improve air quality by facilitating …

Plant functional traits can predict community assembly and ecosystem functioning and are
thus widely used in global models of vegetation dynamics and land–climate feedbacks. Still …

Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological
characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect …

Earth is home to a remarkable diversity of plant forms and life histories, yet comparatively
few essential trait combinations have proved evolutionarily viable in today's terrestrial …

Phenotypic traits and their associated trade-offs have been shown to have globally
consistent effects on individual plant physiological functions,,, but how these effects scale up …

The annual peak growth of vegetation is critical in characterizing the capacity of terrestrial
ecosystem productivity and shaping the seasonality of atmospheric CO2 concentrations. The …

FLUXNET is a global network of micrometeorological flux measurement sites that measure
the exchanges of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy between the biosphere and …

Plant traits–the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological
characteristics of plants and their organs–determine how primary producers respond to …

Stomata play a key role in plant adaptation to changing environmental conditions as they
control both water losses and CO2 uptake. Particularly, in the context of global change …
