Thermal acclimation of stem respiration reduces global carbon burden

The paper predicts and validates the temperature sensitivity of stem respiration, showing thermal acclimation reduces global carbon emissions.

A unifying principle for global greenness patterns and trends

The paper presents a simple model that explains global greenness patterns and trends using two parameters, matching the accuracy of complex vegetation models.

Functional traits trade-offs define plant population stability worldwide

The paper examines global plant population stability by linking trait trade-offs to inter-annual variability in species abundance across multiple ecosystems.

LOTVS: a global collection of permanent vegetation plots

LOTVS provides a global collection of vegetation time-series from permanent plots to study ecological changes over time.

Ecosystem photosynthesis in land-surface models: a first-principles approach

This paper develops a model based on optimality principles to simulate photosynthesis and stomatal conductance across different vegetation types and time scales, showing it can reproduce diurnal cycles without biome-specific parameters.

Plant hydraulics coordinated with photosynthetic traits and climate

The paper examines how plant hydraulic and photosynthetic traits coordinate across species and elevations, finding that hydraulic traits are less plastic and more phylogenetically driven than photosynthetic traits.

Scalable production of tissue-like vascularised liver organoids from human PSCs.

This paper develops a method to produce vascularised liver organoids from human PSCs without 2D patterning or ECM, demonstrating liver-like functions and cellular complexity.

Introduced species dominate different responses of grassland communities to climate change on serpentine and nonserpentine soils

The paper examines how native and introduced plant species in California grasslands respond to drought, finding stable native communities and directional change in introduced species.
