TL;DR: This review summarizes characteristics of drought typical to the major forest regions of the United States, future drought projections, and important features of plant and forest community response to drought, and research needs and strategies for coping with future drought.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a cross-site synthesis of annual carbon storage estimates, comparing meteorological and biometric approaches, and also comparing biometric estimates based on analyses of autotrophic carbon pools and heterotropic carbon fluxes (net ecosystem production, NEP).

TL;DR: There was extensive variability in photosynthetic capacity as a result of vertical canopy position, species type, leaf age and drought, and temporal changes in V(cmax) were often poorly correlated with leaf nitrogen, especially in spring and summer and during drought.

TL;DR: In this article, the current status of below-ground responses to elevated CO2 and temperature and potential feedback effects, methodological challenges, and approaches to integrating models and measurements are discussed, as well as approaches to integrate models and data to predict long-term, net carbon storage in ecosystems.

TL;DR: As expected, FF(cer) exhibited a distinct seasonal trend following patterns of soil temperature, but soil water content and the volume percent of the soil's coarse fraction were also correlated with observed rates.
