AbstractTree species diversity is essential to sustaining stable forest ecosystem functioning. However, it remains unclear how boreal tree species diversity has changed in response to climate change and how it is associated with productivity and the temporal stability of boreal forest ecosystems.

AbstractVegetation growth may adapt to climate warming by adjusting the relationship between photosynthetic capacity and temperature. However, changes in the optimal temperature for ecosystem productivity during recent decades of warming remain uncertain. Here we provide empirical evidence that global optimal temperature increased at a rate of 0.017 ± 0.002 °C y−1 from 1982 to 2016, using multiple datasets of satellite-derived productivity and climate variables.

AbstractSummaryMendelian randomization is being utilized to assess causal effects of polygenic exposures, where many genetic instruments are subject to horizontal pleiotropy. Existing methods for detecting and correcting for horizontal pleiotropy have important assumptions that may not be fulfilled. Built upon the core gene hypothesis, we developed MR Corge for performing sensitivity analysis of Mendelian randomization.

AbstractAgroforestry practices that include the integration of multifunctional trees within agricultural lands can generate multiple socioecological benefits, in addition to being a natural climate solution due to the associated carbon sequestration potential. Such agroforestry trees represent a vital part of India’s landscapes.
