Journal ArticleDOI

TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access

Jens Kattge, +754 more
- 01 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: The extent of the trait data compiled in TRY is evaluated and emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness are analyzed to conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Basalt weathering laws and the impact of basalt weathering on the global carbon cycle

Céline Dessert, +4 more
- 30 Dec 2003 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical weathering of basalts and the flux of carbon transferred from the atmosphere to the ocean during this major process at the surface of the Earth were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Erosion of Deccan Traps determined by river geochemistry: impact on the global climate and the 87Sr/86Sr ratio of seawater

Céline Dessert, +7 more
- 15 Jun 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of the Deccan Traps on chemical weathering and atmospheric CO2 consumption on Earth is evaluated based on the study of major elements, strontium and 87Sr/86Sr isotopic ratios of the main rivers flowing through the traps, using a numerical model.
Journal ArticleDOI

A plant's perspective of extremes: terrestrial plant responses to changing climatic variability.

Christopher P. O. Reyer, +22 more
- 01 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is found that phenology is largely affected by changing mean climate but also that impacts of climatic variability are much less studied, although potentially damaging, and that heat-waves and flooding have stronger impacts on physiological processes than changing meanClimate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for decoupling of atmospheric CO2 and global climate during the Phanerozoic eon

Ján Veizer, +2 more
- 07 Dec 2000 - 
TL;DR: A reconstruction of tropical sea surface temperatures throughout the Phanerozoic eon (the past ∼550 Myr) from the database of oxygen isotopes in calcite and aragonite shells indicates large oscillations of tropicalSea surface temperatures in phase with the cold–warm cycles, thus favouring the idea of climate variability as a global phenomenon.
