Global assessment of experimental climate warming on tundra vegetation: heterogeneity over space and time.

The results indicate that tundra vegetation exhibits strong regional variation in response to warming, and that in vulnerable regions, cumulative effects of long-term warming on tundRA vegetation - and associated ecosystem consequences - have the potential to be much greater than the authors have observed to date.

TRY plant trait database - enhanced coverage and open access.

The extent of the trait data compiled in TRY is evaluated and emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness are analyzed to conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements.

Increasing homogeneity in global food supplies and the implications for food security

Significance This study provides evidence of change in the relative importance of different crop plants in national food supplies worldwide over the past 50 years, which heightens interdependence among countries in their food supplies, plant genetic resources, and nutritional priorities, and gives further urgency to nutrition development priorities aimed at bolstering food security.

Plant functional trait change across a warming tundra biome

Biome-wide relationships between temperature, moisture and seven key plant functional traits across the tundra and over time show that community height increased with warming across all sites, whereas other traits lagged behind predicted rates of change.

The geography of biodiversity change in marine and terrestrial assemblages

Examining spatial variation in species richness and composition change using more than 50,000 biodiversity time series from 239 studies found clear geographic variation in biodiversity change, suggesting that biodiversity change may be spatially structured.

Contrasting effects of warming and increased snowfall on Arctic tundra plant phenology over the past two decades

The results of this study highlight the importance of understanding the specific environmental cues that drive species' phenological responses as well as the complex interactions between temperature and precipitation when forecasting phenology over the coming decades.

Complexity revealed in the greening of the Arctic

As the Arctic warms, vegetation is responding, and satellite measures indicate widespread greening at high latitudes. This ‘greening of the Arctic’ is among the world’s most important large-scale…

Global trait–environment relationships of plant communities

It is shown that global trait composition is captured by two main dimensions that are only weakly related to macro-environmental drivers, which reflect the trade-offs at the species level but are weakly associated with climate and soil conditions at the global scale.

Accelerated increase in plant species richness on mountain summits is linked to warming

Analysis of changes in plant species richness on mountain summits over the past 145 years suggests that increased climatic warming has led to an acceleration in species richness increase, strikingly synchronized with accelerated global warming.
