DOI: 10.1002/rse2.86
Abstract: Abiotic ecosystem properties together with plant species interaction create differences in structural and physiological traits among plant species. Certain plant traits cause a spatial and temporal variation in canopy reflectance that enables the differentiation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-019-00415-4
Abstract: Sustainability science recognizes the importance of the integrated assessment of the ecological and social systems in land-use planning. However, most studies so far have been conceptual rather than empirical. We developed a framework to characterize… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/01431161.2020.1811914
Abstract: ABSTRACT Phenology is an important component in the climate system, and play a key role in controlling many feedbacks of vegetation to the climate systems. Differences in phenology of plant functional types (PFTs) due to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16040
Abstract: Plants are critical mediators of terrestrial mass and energy fluxes, and their structural and functional traits have profound impacts on local and global climate, biogeochemistry, biodiversity, and hydrology. Yet, Earth System Models (ESMs), our most… read more here.
