Modelling Interactions between Climate and Global Vegetation in response to Climate Change [PDF]
Climate change associated with increasing concentrations of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide(CO2), is expected to lead to an increase in global mean temperature of between 1 and 3.5 deg C by the end of the 21st century, with regional changes in ...

Assessing 20th century climate-vegetation feedbacks of land-use change and natural vegetation dynamics in a fully coupled vegetation-climate model [PDF]
This study describes the coupling of the dynamic global vegetation model (DGVM), Lund–Potsdam–Jena Model for managed land (LPJmL), with the general circulation model (GCM), Simplified Parameterizations primitivE Equation DYnamics model (SPEEDY), to study

The contribution of vegetation and landscape configuration for predicting environmental change impacts on Iberian birds [PDF]
Although climate is known to be one of the key factors determining animal species distributions amongst others, projections of global change impacts on their distributions often rely on bioclimatic envelope models.

The carbon economics of vegetative phase change [PDF]
Abstract Across plant species and biomes, a conserved set of leaf traits govern the economic strategy used to assimilate and invest carbon. As plants age, they face new challenges that may require shifts in this leaf economic strategy.

Acceleration of vegetation phenological changes
AbstractPiao et al. (2022) presents an interesting study on vegetation phenology from a novel angle. The study examined the speed of canopy development and senescence, or the “acceleration of vegetation phenological changes”, and investigated its relationship with the trend of vegetation greening/browning and the underlying climate driving factors.

Responses of weed community, soil nutrients, and microbes to different weed management practices in a fallow field in Northern China [PDF]
The long-term use of herbicides to remove weeds in fallow croplands can impair soil biodiversity, affect the quality of agricultural products, and threaten human health. Consequently, the identification of methods that can effectively limit the weed seed
