Open AccessOrganic carbon source controlled microbial olivine dissolution in small-scale flow-through bioreactors, for CO2 removal
The development of carbon dioxide removal methods, coupled with decreased CO2 emissions, is fundamental to achieving the targets outlined in the Paris Agreement limiting global warming to 1.5 °C. Here we are inve...

Diagnosing destabilization risk in global land carbon sinks
Global net land carbon uptake or net biome production (NBP) has increased during recent decades1. Whether its temporal variability and autocorrelation have changed during this period, however, remains elusive, ev...

Open AccessField experiments underestimate aboveground biomass response to drought
Researchers use both experiments and observations to study the impacts of climate change on ecosystems, but results from these contrasting approaches have not been systematically compared for droughts. Using a...

Potential CO2 removal from enhanced weathering by ecosystem responses to powdered rock
Negative emission technologies underpin socioeconomic scenarios consistent with the Paris Agreement. Afforestation and bioenergy coupled with carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage are the main land negative em...

A trade-off between plant and soil carbon storage under elevated CO2
Terrestrial ecosystems remove about 30 per cent of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by human activities each year1, yet the persistence of this carbon sink depends partly on how plant biomass and soil organic car...

Increased tree growth following long-term optimised fertiliser application indirectly alters soil properties in a boreal forest
It is well established that nutrient addition influences ecosystem features such as productivity, carbon storage, soil acidification and biodiversity. Less studied are long-term effects of sustained fertiliser...

Correction to: A novel method for assessing climate change impacts in ecotron experiments
The article was published bearing a typographical error to the second author name listed. The author group regret the error and the name should be referenced and credited as Jakob Zscheischler and not the former.

Open AccessA novel method for assessing climate change impacts in ecotron experiments
Ecotron facilities allow accurate control of many environmental variables coupled with extensive monitoring of ecosystem processes. They therefore require multivariate perturbation of climate variables, close ...

Open AccessRegulation of nitrogen fixation from free-living organisms in soil and leaf litter of two tropical forests of the Guiana shield
Biological fixation of atmospheric nitrogen (N2) is the main pathway for introducing N into unmanaged ecosystems. While recent estimates suggest that free-living N fixation (FLNF) accounts for the majority of N f...

Post-drought rewetting triggers substantial K release and shifts in leaf stoichiometry in managed and abandoned mountain grasslands
When soil is rewetted after drought, typically a transient pulse of mineralization and other microbial processes occur. This “Birch effect” translates into a temporarily elevated soil carbon dioxide efflux (SC...

Mesh bags underestimated arbuscular mycorrhizal abundance but captured fertilization effects in a mesocosm experiment
Ingrowth bags are widely used to estimate mycorrhizal growth and dynamics. However, it remains unclear to what extent they reflect the surrounding soil, and how this varies with environmental conditions.

A systemic overreaction to years versus decades of warming in a subarctic grassland ecosystem
Temperature governs most biotic processes, yet we know little about how warming affects whole ecosystems. Here we examined the responses of 128 components of a subarctic grassland to either 5–8 or >50 years of...

A meta-analysis of 1,119 manipulative experiments on terrestrial carbon-cycling responses to global change
Direct quantification of terrestrial biosphere responses to global change is crucial for projections of future climate change in Earth system models. Here, we synthesized ecosystem carbon-cycling data from 1,1...

Nitrogen and phosphorus constrain the CO2 fertilization of global plant biomass
Elevated CO2 (eCO2) experiments provide critical information to quantify the effects of rising CO2 on vegetation1–6. Many eCO2 experiments suggest that nutrient limitations modulate the local magnitude of the eCO

Global vegetation’s CO2 uptake
Multiple lines of evidence reveal that annual maximum photosynthesis across the world has been increasing over the past 30 years, adding crucial new information on the processes influencing the land carbon sin...

Icelandic grasslands as long-term C sinks under elevated organic N inputs
About 10% of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions have been absorbed by northern terrestrial ecosystems during the past decades. It has been hypothesized that part of this increasing carbon (C) sink is caused by the a...

Open AccessRemotely-sensed detection of effects of extreme droughts on gross primary production
Severe droughts strongly impact photosynthesis (GPP), and satellite imagery has yet to demonstrate its ability to detect drought effects. Especially changes in vegetation functioning when vegetation state rema...

Nutrient availability and climate as the main determinants of the ratio of biomass to NPP in woody and non-woody forest compartments
Once the effect of stand age has been taken into account, nutrient availability and climate play a crucial role in determining the B:NPPs of woody and non-woody tissues.
