Carbon-nitrogen coupling is a fundamental principle in ecosystem ecology. However, how
the coupling responds to global change has not yet been examined. Through a …

Grasses as lignocellulose biomass are promising feed stocks for renewable bioethanol
production, since these raw materials have high productivity, require low agricultural inputs …

Global net land carbon uptake or net biome production (NBP) has increased during recent
decades. Whether its temporal variability and autocorrelation have changed during this …

Elevated CO2 concentrations increase photosynthesis and, potentially, net ecosystem
production (NEP), meaning a greater CO2 uptake. Climate, nutrients and ecosystem …

Forests strongly affect climate through the exchange of large amounts of atmospheric CO 2
(ref.). The main drivers of spatial variability in net ecosystem production (NEP) on a global …

We compiled a global database for leaf, stem and root biomass representing c. 11 000
records for c. 1200 herbaceous and woody species grown under either controlled or field …

Biodiversity is essential for maintaining the terrestrial ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF).
Recent studies have revealed that the variations in terrestrial ecosystem functions are …

Forest age is a key parameter for estimating forest growth and carbon uptake and for forest
management. Remote sensing provides indirect but useful information for mapping forest …

Because of the slow accumulation and long residence time of carbon in biomass and soils,
the present state and future dynamics of temperate forests are influenced by management …

This study investigated the factors underlying the variability of needle and soil elemental
composition and stoichiometry and their relationships with growth in Pinus sylvestris forests …
