Drought sensitivity of vegetation photosynthesis along the aridity gradient in northern China by Hao-jie Xu, Xin-ping Wang, Chuan-yan Zhao

“…The dominant lag and accumulation time of SIF responses to SPEI was 9.1 and 10.5 months for all biomes, respectively. In general, patterns of the cumulative and lagged effects along an aridity gradient were similar, displaying quicker and stronger SIF responses to SPEI in regions with a lower aridity index value, but the changing rate of magnitude and time duration varied among and within biomes. …”

Effect of Detritus Manipulation on Different Organic Matter Decompositions in Temperate Deciduous Forest Soils by Zsolt Kotroczó, Katalin Juhos, Borbála Biró, Tamás Kocsis, Sándor Attila Pabar, Csaba Varga, István Fekete

“…Thus, its study is important for understanding litter degradation and the control factors of different biomes and ecosystems. In the frame of the Síkfőkút DIRT (Detritus Input and Removal Treatments) Project, the effect of organic matter treatment was studied on the rate of decomposition of organic matter by applying different kinds of organic materials (leaf and wood litter, green and rooibos tea material, and cellulose cotton wool). …”

Nature-based solutions in agricultural landscapes for reducing tradeoffs between food production, climate change, and conservation objectives by Fernando Miralles-Wilhelm, Fernando Miralles-Wilhelm

“…This paper presents a synthesis of evidence and implementation gaps in the application of nature-based solutions (NbS) in agricultural landscapes that contribute to reduce trade-offs between food production, climate change and conservation objectives. The literature and data surveyed relies primarily in peer-reviewed sources and is organized around an overview of NbS science and applications in agricultural landscapes in major biomes. …”

Scenarios for future biodiversity loss due to multiple drivers reveal conflict between mitigating climate change and preserving biodiversity by Thomas W R Powell, Timothy M Lenton

“…However, the resulting withdrawal of energy from managed ecosystems has a large negative impact on biodiversity. Although the effects of energy withdrawal and climate change on biodiversity cannot be directly compared, this suggests that using bio-energy to tackle climate change in order to limit biodiversity loss could instead have the opposite effect.…”
