TL;DR: A call for temperature time series submissions to SoilTemp, a geospatial database initiative compiling soil and near-surface temperature data from all over the world, will pave the way towards an improved global understanding of microclimate and bridge the gap between the available climate data and the climate at fine spatiotemporal resolutions relevant to most organisms and ecosystem processes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare annual fluxes of methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and soil respiratory carbon dioxide (CO2) measured at nine European peatlands and shrublands (n = 5).

TL;DR: This work investigated the rapid initial response to wounding damage generated by different numbers of straight cuts and punctures through leaf lamina as well as varying area of lamina squeezing in the temperate deciduous tree Populus tremula.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that cumulative air temperature, precipitation, soil water content, and air temperature were the best predictors for litter carbon and nitrogen remaining during decomposition.

TL;DR: The main aim of this study was to separate the ecosystem flux components and gain insight into the performance of a multi-species multi-layered tree stand and encourage future experimental efforts to be directed towards year round integrated biosphere-atmosphere measurements and development of process-oriented models of forest- atmosphere exchange.
