Remote sensing has transformed the monitoring of life on Earth by revealing spatial and
temporal dimensions of biological diversity through structural, compositional and functional …

Plants invest a considerable amount of leaf nitrogen in the photosynthetic enzyme ribulose-
1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (RuBisCO), forming a strong coupling of nitrogen …

Plant strategies are phenotypes shaped by natural selection that enable populations to
persist in a given environment. Plant strategy theory is essential for understanding the …

Global maps of plant functional traits are essential for studying the dynamics of the terrestrial
biosphere, yet the spatial distribution of trait measurements remains sparse. With the …

Genomic data are increasingly being integrated into macroecological forecasting, offering
an evolutionary perspective that has been largely missing from global change …

Abstract Plant functional traits ('traits') are essential for assessing biodiversity and ecosystem
processes, but cumbersome to measure. To facilitate trait measurements, we test if traits can …

Aim Biome classification schemes are widely used to map biogeographic patterns of
vegetation formations on large spatial scales. Future climate change will influence biome …

Foliar traits such as specific leaf area (SLA), leaf nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P)
concentrations play important roles in plant economic strategies and ecosystem functioning …

Predicting community‐level trait indices, such as community‐weighted mean or functional
dispersion, in space or time, is crucial, as they are markers of ecosystem functions, proxies …

Aim Climate change will likely modify the global distribution of biomes, but the magnitude of
change is debated. Here, we followed a trait‐based, statistical approach to model the …
