Evergreen species are widespread across the globe, representing two major plant functional
forms in terrestrial models. We reviewed and analysed the responses of photosynthesis and …

The contribution of seafood to global food security is being increasingly highlighted in policy.
However, the extent to which such claims are supported in the current food security literature …

Simulations of photosynthesis by terrestrial biosphere models typically need a specification
of the maximum carboxylation rate (Vcmax). Estimating this parameter using A–Ci curves …

Why do forest productivity and biomass decline with elevation? To address this question,
research to date generally has focused on correlative approaches describing changes in …

In this study, we assess the geomorphic role of a rare, large-magnitude landslide-triggering
event and consider its effect on mountain forest ecosystems and the erosion of organic …

Aim Tropical elevation gradients are natural laboratories to assess how changing climate
can influence tropical forests. However, there is a need for theory and integrated data …

The seasonality of solar irradiance and precipitation may regulate seasonal variations in
tropical forests carbon cycling. Controversy remains over their importance as drivers of …

Andean tropical montane forests (TMF) are hotspots of biodiversity that provide fundamental
hydrological services as well as carbon sequestration and storage. Agroforestry systems …

Theory predicts positive effects of species richness on the productivity of plant communities
through complementary resource use and facilitative interactions between species. Results …

The pollination syndrome hypothesis predicts that plants pollinated by the same pollinator
group bear convergent combinations of specific floral functional traits. Nevertheless, some …
