Fossil pollen records are well-established indicators of past vegetation changes. The
prevalence of pollen across environmental settings including lakes, wetlands, and marine …

Understanding, modeling, and predicting the impact of global change on ecosystem
functioning across biogeographical gradients can benefit from enhanced capacity to …

Stomatal conductance (gs) is a key land-surface attribute as it links transpiration, the
dominant component of global land evapotranspiration, and photosynthesis, the driving …

Question Are plant traits more closely correlated with mean annual temperature, or with
mean annual precipitation? Location Global. Methods We quantified the strength of the …

Leaf area (LA), mass per area (LMA), nitrogen per unit area (Narea) and the leaf‐internal to
ambient CO2 ratio (χ) are fundamental traits for plant functional ecology and vegetation …

The purpose of this paper is to give a rather comprehensive description of the models for
natural and anthropogenically driven changes in biogeography as implemented in the land …

High-resolution palynological analysis on annually laminated sediments of Sihailongwan
Maar Lake (SHL) provides new insights into the Holocene vegetation and climate dynamics …

Comparative functional ecology seeks to understand why and how ecological systems and
their components operate differently across environments. Although traditionally used in …

Subfossil pollen and plant macrofossil data derived from 14 C-dated sediment profiles can
provide quantitative information on glacial and interglacial climates. The data allow climate …

Peatlands are a major terrestrial carbon store and a persistent natural carbon sink during the
Holocene, but there is considerable uncertainty over the fate of peatland carbon in a …
