TL;DR: A series of datasets, together consisting of almost 750 years of observations, characterizing vegetation phenology in diverse ecosystems across North America can be used for phenological model validation and development, evaluation of satellite remote sensing data products, benchmarking earth system models, and studies of climate change impacts on terrestrial ecosystems.

TL;DR: Experimental whole-ecosystem warming treatments of a Picea–Sphagnum peat bog reveal the likely phenological consequences of future temperature increases that exceed those of historical climate regimes.

TL;DR: Comparing storage in five temperate tree species and scaling up NSC concentrations to the ecosystem level, it is found that commonly used, process‐based ecosystem and land surface models all overpredict NSC storage.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the operational methods to achieve and measure both deep-soil heating and whole-ecosystem warming (WEW) appropriate to the scale of tall-stature, high-carbon, boreal forest peatlands.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the factors limiting photosynthetic activity of a high-elevation subalpine forest that has undergone substantial warming in recent decades, and tested the hypothesis that this warming has been significant enough to allow photosynthesis during sunny warm days in winter.
