Climate‐induced drought is a major threat to forest growth and ecosystem stability. However, the long‐term effects of drought on tree growth, especially across forests with contrasting stand structures, remain poorly understood. Based on 136,988 live tree records monitored from 1979 to 2017 in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau, we assessed how drought intensity, species richness, tree density, and stand age influence long‐term...
The phyllosphere is a complex microbial ecosystem residing on plant leaves, hosting microbes that influence plant growth and fitness. The phyllosphere is sensitive to temperature and moisture, so understanding its response to climate warming and variable moisture associated with changes in seasons is crucial for predicting ecosystem function. We conducted a 12‐year warming experiment in a sub‐tropical forest by transplanting a...
The influence of plant traits on soil microbial communities varies between arid and mesic grasslandsNARA Subscribed
Background and aims Both soil properties and plant traits shape the diversity, composition and functions of plant-associated soil microbial communities. However, the relative influence of these factors is poorly understood, as are interactive effects between factors and the degree to which their influence varies among climate zones. Methods To address this gap, we compared the diversity and composition of soil microbial commun...
Leaf Photosynthetic and Respiratory Thermal Acclimation in Terrestrial Plants in Response to Warming: A Global SynthesisNARA Subscribed
Leaf photosynthesis and respiration are two of the largest carbon fluxes between the atmosphere and biosphere. Although experiments examining the warming effects on photosynthetic and respiratory thermal acclimation have been widely conducted, the sensitivity of various ecosystem and vegetation types to warming remains uncertain. Here we conducted a meta‐analysis on experimental observations of thermal acclimation worldwide. W...
Long‐term warming increased carbon sequestration capacity in a humid subtropical forestNARA Subscribed
Tropical and subtropical forests play a crucial role in global carbon (C) pools, and their responses to warming can significantly impact C‐climate feedback and predictions of future global warming. Despite earth system models projecting reductions in land C storage with warming, the magnitude of this response varies greatly between models, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Here, we conducted a field ecosystem‐l...
Response of the plant core microbiome to Fusarium oxysporum infection and identification of the pathobiomeNARA Subscribed
Plant core microbiomes consist of persistent key members that provide critical host functions, but their assemblages can be interrupted by biotic and abiotic stresses. The pathobiome is comprised of dynamic microbial interactions in response to disease status of the host. Hence, identifying variation in the core microbiome and pathobiome can significantly advance our understanding of microbial–microbial interactions and conseq...
Phosphorus (P) is often one of the most limiting nutrients in highly weathered soils of humid tropical forests and may regulate the responses of carbon (C) feedback to climate warming. However, the response of P to warming at the ecosystem level in tropical forests is not well understood because previous studies have not comprehensively assessed changes in multiple P processes associated with warming. Here, we detected changes...
Increasing aridity will not offset CO 2 fertilization in fast‐growing eucalypts with access to deep soil waterNARA Subscribed
Rising atmospheric [CO 2 ] ( C a ) generally enhances tree growth if nutrients are not limiting. However, reduced water availability and elevated evaporative demand may offset such fertilization. Trees with access to deep soil water may be able to mitigate such stresses and respond more positively to C a . Here, we sought to evaluate how increased vapor pressure deficit and reduced precipitation are likely to modify the impact...
Long‐term effects of 7‐year warming experiment in the field on leaf hydraulic and economic traits of subtropical tree speciesNARA Subscribed
Rising temperature associated with climate change may have substantial impacts on forest tree functions. We conducted a 7‐year warming experiment in subtropical China by translocating important native forest tree species ( Machilas breviflora , Syzygium rehderianum , Schima superba and Itea chinensis ) from cooler high‐elevation sites (600 m) to 1–2°C warmer low‐elevation sites (300 and 30 m) to investigate warming effects on...
Phosphorus (P) is an essential macro‐nutrient required for plant metabolism and growth. Low P availability could potentially limit plant responses to elevated carbon dioxide (eCO 2 ), but consensus has yet to be reached on the extent of this limitation. Here, based on data from experiments that manipulated both CO 2 and P for young individuals of woody and non‐woody species, we present a meta‐analysis of P limitation impacts o...
Identifying areas at risk of drought‐induced tree mortality across South‐Eastern AustraliaNARA Subscribed
South‐East Australia has recently been subjected to two of the worst droughts in the historical record (Millennium Drought, 2000–2009 and Big Dry, 2017–2019). Unfortunately, a lack of forest monitoring has made it difficult to determine whether widespread tree mortality has resulted from these droughts. Anecdotal observations suggest the Big Dry may have led to more significant tree mortality than the Millennium drought. Criti...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
