TL;DR: The FLUXNET2015 dataset provides ecosystem-scale data on CO 2 , water, and energy exchange between the biosphere and the atmosphere, and other meteorological and biological measurements, from 212 sites around the globe, and is detailed in this paper.

TL;DR: It is concluded that agricultural expansion causes a considerable reduction of trees in woodlands, but observations in Sahel indicate that villagers safeguard trees on nearby farmlands which contradicts simplistic ideas of a high negative correlation between population density and woody cover.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main terms of the water cycle in a Scots pine stand (Pinus sylvestris L) growing on a sandy soil and the contribution of the shallow water table (0.80 m deep in spring) to the forest water use were quantified.

TL;DR: It is shown that tree mortality concomitant with drought has led to short-term vegetation-type conversion in multiple biomes across the world (131 sites), with early change in community composition indicating that forests dominated by mesic species generally shifted toward more xeric communities, with replacing tree and shrub species exhibiting drier bioclimatic optima and distribution ranges.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that high temperature-induced increases in VPD and decreases in SWC aggravated drought impacts on GPP, which contributed to reduced summer GPP in 2018.
