TL;DR: In tropical forests in particular, Topteco is close to growing-season air temperature and is projected to fall below it under all scenarios of future climate, suggesting a limited safe operating space for these ecosystems under future warming.

TL;DR: It is found that woody NPP is not correlated with stem mortality rates and is weakly positively correlated with AGB, and across the four models, basin‐wide average AGB is similar to the mean of the observations.

TL;DR: Guimberteau et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the impacts of climate change and deforestation on the surface hydrology of the Amazon Basin for this century, taking 2009 as a reference.

TL;DR: Results show liana xylem water isotopic signatures to be enriched in heavy isotopes in comparison with those from trees, indicating differences in water source depths and a more superficial root activity for lianas during the dry season, which enables them to efficiently capture dry season precipitation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate whether strong variation in δxyl within woody plants exists using empirical field observations from French Guiana, northwestern China, and Germany, supported by a mechanistic plant hydraulic model.
