TL;DR: TRY as discussed by the authors is a global database of plant traits, including morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants and their organs, which can be used for a wide range of research from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology to biogeography.

TL;DR: The Wetland and Wetland CH4 Inter-comparison of Models Project (WETCHIMP) as mentioned in this paper investigated the ability to simulate large-scale wetland characteristics and corresponding CH4 emissions.

TL;DR: In this article, a P cycle was incorporated into the land surface model JSBACH (Jena Scheme for Biosphere-Atmosphere Coupling in Hamburg) to investigate how the projected carbon sequestration is altered when stoichiometric constraints on C cycling are considered, and the results indicated that global land carbon uptake in the 21st century is likely over- estimated in models that neglect P and N limitations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a generic framework to analyze the spatial connections between the ecosystem service provisioning and benefiting areas, and introduce an indicator that shows the proportion of ben- efiting areas supported by spatial ecosystem service flows from provisioning areas.

TL;DR: This study provides a proof of concept for the link between plant traits and vegetation types, stimulating enhanced application of trait-based approaches in vegetation modeling and envision that the approach, observation-driven trait maps, and vegetation maps may inspire a new generation of powerful traits-based vegetation models.
