We investigated the impact of high atmospheric CO2, similar to that predicted for 2050, on tree canopy temperature dynamics of mature pedunculate oak using long-term, high-frequency thermal infrared ...

Background and aims Soil properties are key drivers of vegetation structure, yet their influence on above-ground woody biomass (AGBW) in seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs) remains underexplored, ...

Abstract. Climate change impacts forest functioning and dynamics, but large uncertainties remain regarding the interactions between species composition, demographic processes and environmental drivers...

Vegetation demographic models (VDMs) are advanced tools for simulating forest responses to climate and land-use changes, and are essential for projecting carbon cycling and large-scale forest manage.....

Company Description: Western Sydney University is a modern, forward-thinking, research-led institution at the heart of Australia’s fastest-growing and most economically significant region. With 11 cam...

In full sun, tropical leaves can become much hotter than the surrounding air. Their ability to cope can be a matter of life or death.

At the Department of Earth Sciences, we have ca 75 employees who work in the

This EO is an unconstitutional attempt to censor and punish U.S. scientists for publishing science that doesn't fit a political agenda This misleading and false misrepresentation of U.S. scientif...

Researchers engaged in long-term projects often need to update their data sets over time. Here’s how to do it while maintaining reproducibility.

Forests with higher tree species richness show greater photosynthesis by capturing more sunlight, highlighting the essential role of biodiversity in enhancing carbon uptake and supporting the global carbon sink.

Large pulses of disturbance have been observed globally in response to climate change. Using Taylor’s Law, the authors show that those pulses were not unpredictable but expected given a strong scaling...

A variety of phenology process-based models have been developed to simulate environmental influences on the timing of spring and autumn phenophases. S…

We are excited to invite applications for a new PhD position on large mammals and land-use change in Europe. Join us at the Conservation and Biogeography Lab at Humboldt University Berlin!

Environmental changes and their effects are among the most pressing topics of today's ecological research. Shrublands, although widespread across the globe, remain understudied in this respect. We co...
