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 …

Evidence exists that tree mortality is accelerating in some regions of the tropics,, with
profound consequences for the future of the tropical carbon sink and the global …

Abstract Theory predicts that rising CO2 increases global photosynthesis, a process known
as CO2 fertilization, and that this is responsible for much of the current terrestrial carbon …

Succulent plants are iconic components of the florae of many terrestrial ecosystems, but
despite having caused fascination and prompted investigation for centuries, they still …

Climate warming will influence photosynthesis via thermal effects and by altering soil
moisture,,,,,,,,,–. Both effects may be important for the vast areas of global forests that …

Accurate representation of photosynthesis in terrestrial biosphere models (TBM s) is
essential for robust projections of global change. However, current representations vary …

The global terrestrial carbon sink is increasing,–, offsetting roughly a third of anthropogenic
CO2 released into the atmosphere each decade, and thus serving to slow the growth of …

The temperature response of photosynthesis is one of the key factors determining predicted
responses to warming in global vegetation models (GVM s). The response may vary …

Improving photosynthesis to raise wheat yield potential has emerged as a major target for
wheat physiologists. Photosynthesis-related traits, such as nitrogen per unit leaf area …

Earth system models (ESM s) use photosynthetic capacity, indexed by the maximum
Rubisco carboxylation rate (Vcmax), to simulate carbon assimilation and typically rely on …
