Influence of Physiological Phenology on the Seasonal Pattern of Ecosystem Respiration in Deciduous Forests

Understanding the environmental and biotic drivers of respiration at the ecosystem level is a prerequisite to further improve scenarios of the global carbon cycle. In this study we investigated the relevance of physiological phenology, defined as …

Linking Plant and Ecosystem Functional Biogeography

Classical biogeographical observations suggest that ecosystems are strongly shaped by climatic constraints in terms of their structure and function. On the other hand, vegetation function feeds back on the climate system via biosphere-atmosphere …
