Phenology and carbon dioxide source/sink strength of a subalpine grassland in response to an exceptionally short snow season

Environmental Research Letters, 2013
Changes in snow cover depth and duration predicted by climate change scenarios are expected to strongly affect high-altitude ecosystem processes. This study investigates the effect of an exceptionally short snow season on the phenology and carbon dioxide

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes the responses and adaptations of tree growth, including canopy phenology, intra‐annual wood formation dynamics, and annual stem growth, to climate change and climate extremes. It highlights key knowledge gaps for future research to support sustainable forest management and enhance forest carbon storage under ongoing climate ...

Fingerprint of rice paddies in spatial-temporal dynamics of atmospheric methane concentration in monsoon Asia. [PDF]

, 2020
Agriculture (e.g., rice paddies) has been considered one of the main emission sources responsible for the sudden rise of atmospheric methane concentration (XCH4) since 2007, but remains debated.

Historic disturbance events overruled climatic factors as drivers of ruderal species distributions in the Scandinavian mountains

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The contemporary interaction of climate and disturbance drives vegetation composition and species distribution shifts, making their respective roles difficult to disentangle. This study describes the long‐term ruderal plant species distributions along the ‘Rallarvägen' in Abisko, subarctic Sweden.

Reduced snow cover at the alpine treeline: resistance and recovery of saplings

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary At high elevations, tree saplings and shrubs are usually protected by mid‐winter snow cover, although climate change is expected to extend the snow‐free (SF) period. Exposure to winter drought, freeze–thaw events and freezing temperatures will therefore increase, inducing damages to the hydraulic system and to living cells, resulting in reduced

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Intercomparison of phenological transition dates derived from the PhenoCam Dataset V1.0 and MODIS satellite remote sensing [PDF]

, 2018
Phenology is a valuable diagnostic of ecosystem health, and has applications to environmental monitoring and management. Here, we conduct an intercomparison analysis using phenological transition dates derived from near-surface PhenoCam imagery and MODIS
