Vegetation greenness has been increasing globally since at least 1981, when satellite
technology enabled large-scale vegetation monitoring. The greening phenomenon, together …

Forest disturbances are sensitive to climate. However, our understanding of disturbance
dynamics in response to climatic changes remains incomplete, particularly regarding large …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

Natural climate solutions (NCS) are strategies for climate mitigation in the land sector that

The direct biophysical effects of fine-scale tree cover changes on temperature are not well
understood. Here, we show how land surface temperature responds to subgrid gross tree …

Although the existence of a large carbon sink in terrestrial ecosystems is well-established,
the drivers of this sink remain uncertain. It has been suggested that perturbations to forest …
