TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used three long-term satellite leaf area index (LAI) records and ten global ecosystem models to investigate four key drivers of LAI trends during 1982-2009.

TL;DR: In this paper, the temporal correlations between EOS and environmental factors (i.e., temperature, precipitation and insolation), as well as the correlation between spring and autumn phenology, using partial correlation analyses were determined.

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 shown that afforestation can also neutralize soil pH by lowering pH in alkaline soil but raising pH in acid soil, thus further promoting the restoration of ecosystem functions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed recent changes in the net land carbon sink (NLS) and its driving factors, using atmospheric inversions and terrestrial carbon models, and found that decreasing land-use emissions are the dominant cause of the intensification of the NLS during the slow warming period.
