Interactive impacts of fire and vegetation dynamics on global carbon and water budget using Community Land Model version 4.5 [PDF]
Fire plays an important role in terrestrial ecosystems. The burning of biomass affects carbon and water fluxes and vegetation distribution. To understand the effect of interactive processes of fire and ecological succession on surface carbon and water ...

Vegetation dynamics and dynamic vegetation science* [PDF]
his contribution presents a review of the development of the study of vegetation dynamics since 1979, in the framework of a jubilee meeting on progress in the study of vegetation. However, an exhaustive review is both impossible and unnecessary.

Steep topography buffers threatened gymnosperm species against anthropogenic pressures in China
China is one of the most species‐rich countries in the world, harboring many rare gymnosperms. Following recent human‐led loss of forests, China is now experiencing increases in forest cover resulting from efforts of reforestation schemes.
