The role of plant phenology in the response of plant productivity to decadal climate warming and cooling
A 15-year reciprocal transplant experiment in alpine grassland revealed that warming advanced leaf-out and accelerated plant growth, thereby increasing above-ground net primary productivity (ANPP), w...
NEW in Journal of Ecology
Decadal warming β ANPP in alpine grassland, cooling β ANPP, but only warming effect strengthens over time!
Early-season phenology mediates both: earlier green-up boosts growth in warm years; delayed leaf-out hurts, but delayed flowering partly rescues under cooling.

General laws of biodiversity: Climatic niches predict plant range size and ecological dominance globally | PNAS
A longstanding question in ecology asks whether or not species that achieve large
geographic ranges also have large climatic niche breadths. Using ...
in "General laws of biodiversity: Climatic niches predict plant range size and ecological dominance globally", we provide key insights into speciesβ vulnerability to environmental change and the processes that structure biodiversity at global scales.
