Nearly two thirds of the world's population depend on monsoon rainfall, with monsoon failure and extreme precipitation affecting societies for millennia. Monsoon hydroclimate is predicted to change...

The diversity and distribution of species' traits in an ecological community determine how it functions. While modern fish communities conserve trait space across similar habitats, little is known ...
-
Conservation management becomes complicated when globally threatened species reach high densities locally, exceeding the carrying capacity of the ecosystem and causing damage. Managing high‐profile...

Hydraulic activation of stomata (HAS) is the process of wicking water from the leaf interior to the surface, promoted by deliquescent salt on the leaf surface, serving as a critical physiological m...

Land use and land cover changes have altered terrestrial ecosystem carbon storage, but their impacts on ecosystem sensitivity to drought and temperature fluctuations have not been evaluated spatial...

Predicting sub-continental fuel hazard under future climate and rising atmospheric CO2 concentrationBushfire fuel hazard is determined by the type, amount, density and three-dimensional distribution of plant biomass and litter. The fuel hazard represents a biological control on fire danger and ma...

Plants take up carbon dioxide (CO
2 ) through photosynthesis. How this will change with rising CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere will strongly determine future climate change...
