DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-16156-1
Abstract: Although low vegetation productivity has been observed in karst regions, whether and how bedrock geochemistry contributes to the low karstic vegetation productivity remain unclear. In this study, we address this knowledge gap by exploring the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16522
Abstract: Evidence for the multifaceted responses of terrestrial ecosystems has been shown by the weakening of CO2 fertilization‐induced and warming‐controlled productivity gains. The intricate relationship between vegetation productivity and various environmental controls still remains elusive spatially.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.abn6697
Abstract: Mountains are hotspots of biodiversity and ecosystem services, but they are warming about twice as fast as the global average. Climate change may reduce alpine snow cover and increase vegetation productivity, as in the Arctic.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/atmos14060957
Abstract: Warming-driven lightning frequency increases may influence the burning rate within the circumpolar Arctic and influence vegetation productivity (GPP). We considered wildfire occurrence within the different Arctic sectors (Russian, North American, and Scandinavian). We used satellite-derived… read more here.
