Climatic changes, including altered precipitation regimes, will affect key ecosystem
processes, such as plant productivity and biodiversity for many terrestrial ecosystems. Past …

We review the evidence of how organisms and populations are currently responding to
climate change through phenotypic plasticity, genotypic evolution, changes in distribution …

Global mean temperature is predicted to increase by 2–7° C and precipitation to change
across the globe by the end of this century. To quantify climate effects on ecosystem …

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

Global warming potentially alters the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle, likely feeding back to
further climate warming. However, how the ecosystem C cycle responds and feeds back to …

Plant communities have undergone dramatic changes in recent centuries, although not all
such changes fit with the dominant biodiversity-crisis narrative used to describe them. At the …

Microbial‐mediated decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) ultimately makes a
considerable contribution to soil respiration, which is typically the main source of CO2 …

Background Rhizodeposition is the release of organic compounds from plant roots into soil.
Positive relationships between rhizodeposition and soil microbial biomass are commonly …

Abstract Recently, the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau has experienced significant warming.
Climate warming is expected to have profound effects on plant community productivity and …

Climate change would have profound influences on community structure and composition,
and subsequently has impacts on ecosystem functioning and feedback to climate change. A …
