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 …

As the climate changes, warmer spring temperatures are causing earlier leaf-out,–and
commencement of CO2 uptake, in temperate deciduous forests, resulting in a tendency …

Forests have considerable potential to mitigate anthropogenic climate change through
carbon sequestration, as well as provide society with substantial co-benefits. However …

Plant survival depends on a balance between carbon supply and demand. When carbon
supply becomes limited, plants buffer demand by using stored carbohydrates (sugar and …

Although nations are grappling with reducing carbon emissions to minimize climate change
risks, they actually need to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere if the goal is to keep …

Trees remain sufficiently hydrated during drought by closing stomata and reducing canopy
conductance (G c) in response to variations in atmospheric water demand and soil water …

Accurate estimates of forest biomass stocks and fluxes are needed to quantify global carbon
budgets and assess the response of forests to climate change. However, most forest …

Agrivoltaic systems, whereby photovoltaic arrays are co-located with crop or forage
production, can alleviate the tension between expanding solar development and loss of …

Because of global warming, Earth's ecosystems have been experiencing more frequent and
severe heatwaves. Heatwaves are expected to tip terrestrial carbon sequestration by …

Every existing optimal stomatal model uses photosynthetic carbon assimilation as a proxy
for plant evolutionary fitness. However, assimilation and growth are often decoupled, making …
