As global land surface temperature continues to rise and heatwave events increase in
frequency, duration, and/or intensity, our key food and fuel cropping systems will likely face …

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 …

It is unequivocal that the increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4)
and nitrous oxide (N2O) since the pre-industrial period are caused by human activities. The …

Drylands cover 41% of the earth's land surface and include 45% of the world's agricultural
land. These regions are among the most vulnerable ecosystems to anthropogenic climate …

Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological
characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect …

Earth system models predict that increases in atmospheric and soil dryness will reduce
photosynthesis in the Amazon rainforest, with large implications for the global carbon cycle …

Net photosynthetic CO2 assimilation rate (A n) decreases at leaf temperatures above a
relatively mild optimum (T opt) in most higher plants. This decline is often attributed to …

Increasing global population and climate change uncertainties have compelled increased
photosynthetic efficiency and yields to ensure food security over the coming decades …

Land surface models (LSMs) are a vital tool for understanding, projecting, and predicting the
dynamics of the land surface and its role within the Earth system, under global change …

Partial least squares regression (PLSR) modelling is a statistical technique for correlating
datasets, and involves the fitting of a linear regression between two matrices. One …
