The 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...

Historically 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, R_S), are typically est...

Representing 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...

Power 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...

A 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...

Shifts 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...
