Evidence and attribution of the enhanced land carbon sink
Climate change has been partially mitigated by an increasing net land carbon sink in the
terrestrial biosphere; understanding the processes that drive this sink is thus essential for …

An earlier start of the thermal growing season enhances tree growth in cold humid areas but not in dry areas
Climatic warming alters the onset, duration and cessation of the vegetative season. While
previous studies have shown a tight link between thermal conditions and leaf phenology …
