Abstract Accurately predicting terrestrial ecosystem responses to climate change over long‐timescales is crucial for addressing global challenges. This relies on mechanistic modeling of ecosystem processes through land surface models (LSMs). Despite their importance, LSMs face significant uncertainties due to poorly constrained parameters, especially ...

Abstract Occurring in 2015/16, the strong El Niño has been shown to significantly influence the pantropical carbon fluxes with multiple lines of evidence. However, a comprehensive understanding on the regional and vegetation‐specific net ecosystem productivity (NEP) in response to this El Niño event and its recovery trajectories remain unclear.

Global Assessment of Environmental and Plant‐Trait Influences on Root: Shoot Biomass Ratios
We assembled a large global dataset by combining several previous compilations to test eco‐evolutionary optimality (EEO) hypotheses about how plants allocate carbon above‐ and below‐ground (root: shoot biomass ratios). Our analysis shows how carbon allocation in woody and herbaceous plants responds to environmental conditions and plant traits.

Abstract Vegetation phenology studies the periodic recurrence of plant life‐cycle events and is essential for understanding ecosystem responses to environmental changes. Remote sensing has become a key tool for monitoring phenological events on large spatial and temporal scales, primarily using vegetation indices like the Normalized Difference ...

Continental Scale Soil Monitoring: A Proposed Multi‐Scale Framing of Soil Quality
ABSTRACT Globally, soils are subjected to various management practices and stressors which can lead to degradation. This makes their protection essential for sustaining many functions and services as well as maintaining the overall life support system of Earth.
