Integrating the evidence for a terrestrial carbon sink caused by increasing atmospheric CO2
Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is increasing, which increases leaf‐scale
photosynthesis and intrinsic water‐use efficiency. These direct responses have the potential …

European forests under global climate change: Review of tree growth processes, crises and management strategies
The ongoing global climate change is challenging all sectors, forestry notwithstanding. On
the one hand, forest ecosystems are exposed to and threatened by climate change, but on …

Forest carbon sink neutralized by pervasive growth-lifespan trade-offs
RJW Brienen, L Caldwell, L Duchesne… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Land vegetation is currently taking up large amounts of atmospheric CO2, possibly due to
tree growth stimulation. Extant models predict that this growth stimulation will continue to …

Land-use and climate change risks in the Amazon and the need of a novel sustainable development paradigm
For half a century, the process of economic integration of the Amazon has been based on
intensive use of renewable and nonrenewable natural resources, which has brought …

Long-term decline of the Amazon carbon sink
Atmospheric carbon dioxide records indicate that the land surface has acted as a strong
global carbon sink over recent decades,, with a substantial fraction of this sink probably …

No growth stimulation of tropical trees by 150 years of CO2 fertilization but water-use efficiency increased
The biomass of undisturbed tropical forests has likely increased in the past few decades,,
probably as a result of accelerated tree growth. Higher CO2 levels are expected to raise …

Components of tree resilience: effects of successive low‐growth episodes in old ponderosa pine forests
Recent world‐wide episodes of tree dieback have been attributed to increasing
temperatures and associated drought. Because these events are likely to become more …
