Mechanisms of plant survival and mortality during drought: why do some plants survive while others succumb to drought?
Severe droughts have been associated with regional‐scale forest mortality worldwide.
Climate change is expected to exacerbate regional mortality events; however, prediction …

Plant respiration and photosynthesis in global‐scale models: incorporating acclimation to temperature and CO2
To realistically simulate climate feedbacks from the land surface to the atmosphere, models
must replicate the responses of plants to environmental changes. Several processes …

Global pattern of soil carbon losses due to the conversion of forests to agricultural land
X Wei, M Shao, W Gale, L Li - Scientific reports, 2014 - nature.com
Several reviews have analyzed the factors that affect the change in soil organic C (SOC)
when forest is converted to agricultural land; however, the effects of forest type and …

Physiological mechanisms of drought-induced tree mortality are far from being resolved
The recent worldwide increase of drought-induced tree mortality exacerbated by climate
change (see review by Allen et al, 2009 and references therein) has triggered strong interest …

Global variability in leaf respiration in relation to climate, plant functional types and leaf traits
Leaf dark respiration (Rdark) is an important yet poorly quantified component of the global
carbon cycle. Given this, we analyzed a new global database of Rdark and associated leaf …

Convergence in the temperature response of leaf respiration across biomes and plant functional types
Plant respiration constitutes a massive carbon flux to the atmosphere, and a major control on
the evolution of the global carbon cycle. It therefore has the potential to modulate levels of …

Global warming and sexual plant reproduction
The sexual reproductive phase in plants might be particularly vulnerable to the effects of
global warming. The direct effect of temperature changes on the reproductive process has …

Will the tropical land biosphere dominate the climate–carbon cycle feedback during the twenty-first century?
TJ Raddatz, CH Reick, W Knorr, J Kattge, E Roeckner… - Climate dynamics, 2007 - Springer
Global warming caused by anthropogenic CO 2 emissions is expected to reduce the
capability of the ocean and the land biosphere to take up carbon. This will enlarge the …

Scaling of respiration to nitrogen in leaves, stems and roots of higher land plants
Using a database of 2510 measurements from 287 species, we assessed whether general
relationships exist between mass‐based dark respiration rate and nitrogen concentration for …

Photoperiodic regulation of the seasonal pattern of photosynthetic capacity and the implications for carbon cycling
Although temperature is an important driver of seasonal changes in photosynthetic
physiology, photoperiod also regulates leaf activity. Climate change will extend growing …
