1 Introduction Changes in the interannual variability (IAV) of vegetation greenness indicate the stability of terrestrial ecosystems (Berdugo et al., 2022; De Keersmaecker et al., 2014; Huang & Xia, 2019) and is critical for tracking the progression of vegetation-climate feedback under climate change (Alkama & Cescatti, 2016; Zeng et al., 2017).

AbstractPlants with the C4 photosynthesis pathway typically respond to climate change differently from more common C3-type plants, due to their distinct anatomical and biochemical characteristics. These different responses are expected to drive changes in global C4 and C3 vegetation distributions. However, current C4 vegetation distribution models may not predict this response as they do not capture multiple interacting factors and often lack observational constraints.

1 INTRODUCTION Terrestrial ecosystems act as a land carbon sink that offsets about a quarter of anthropogenic CO2 emissions (Friedlingstein et al., 2022), and play an important role in slowing down the recent global warming (Shevliakova et al., 2013). The land carbon sink has increased considerably over the past several decades (Friedlingstein et al., 2022) and shows large variability from year to year (Cox et al., 2013; Wang et al., 2013).

AbstractMangrove forests are a highly productive ecosystem with important potential to offset anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Mangroves are expected to respond differently to climate change compared to terrestrial forests owing to their location in the tidal environment and unique ecophysiological characteristics, but the magnitude of difference remains uncertain at the global scale.

AbstractThe temperature sensitivity of ecosystem respiration regulates how the terrestrial carbon sink responds to a warming climate but has been difficult to constrain observationally beyond the plot scale.
