Open AccessThe global spectrum of plant form and function: enhanced species-level trait dataset
Here we provide the ‘Global Spectrum of Plant Form and Function Dataset’, containing species mean values for six vascular plant traits. Together, these traits –plant height, stem specific density, leaf area, l...

Open AccessHistorically inconsistent productivity and respiration fluxes in the global terrestrial carbon cycle
The terrestrial carbon cycle is a major source of uncertainty in climate projections. Its dominant fluxes, gross primary productivity (GPP), and respiration (in particular soil respiration, RS), are typically est...

Open AccessRepresenting the function and sensitivity of coastal interfaces in Earth system models
Between the land and ocean, diverse coastal ecosystems transform, store, and transport material. Across these interfaces, the dynamic exchange of energy and matter is driven by hydrological and hydrodynamic pr...

Open AccessPower laws and critical fragmentation in global forests
The replacement of forest areas with human-dominated landscapes usually leads to fragmentation, altering the structure and function of the forest. Here we studied the dynamics of forest patch sizes at a global...

Globally rising soil heterotrophic respiration over recent decades
Global soils store at least twice as much carbon as Earth’s atmosphere1,2. The global soil-to-atmosphere (or total soil respiration, RS) carbon dioxide (CO2) flux is increasing3,4, but the degree to which climate...

Open AccessA moisture function of soil heterotrophic respiration that incorporates microscale processes
Soil heterotrophic respiration (HR) is an important source of soil-to-atmosphere CO2 flux, but its response to changes in soil water content (θ) is poorly understood. Earth system models commonly use empirical mo...

Open AccessShifts in pore connectivity from precipitation versus groundwater rewetting increases soil carbon loss after drought
Droughts and other extreme precipitation events are predicted to increase in intensity, duration, and extent, with uncertain implications for terrestrial carbon (C) sequestration. Soil wetting from above (prec...

Article
Temperature-associated increases in the global soil respiration record
The carbon dioxide generated underground by plants and microbes and released into the atmosphere — termed soil respiration — comprises the second largest terrestrial carbon flux. It has been suggested that the...

Fire as the dominant driver of central Canadian boreal forest carbon balance
Changes in climate, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and fire frequency have been occurring for decades in high-latitude (boreal) forests. Previous work has not linked these changes with vegetation com...
