Tropical forests play a crucial role in driving fluctuations of the land carbon sink and may therefore influence the Earth's climate system. It is important to understand how tree growth of tropical trees responds to climate ...

A better understanding of tree growth-climate sensitivity across regions and species may reduce uncertainties in simulating forest carbon budgets. However, few studies have explored the growth-climate sensitivity of different ...

At the dawn of the industrial revolution, the Earth's atmosphere contained 278 parts of CO₂ per million. Today, after more than two and a half centuries of fossil fuel use, that figure is around 414 parts per million (ppm). ...

A new study from University of Michigan climate researchers concludes that some of the latest-generation climate models may be overly sensitive to carbon dioxide increases and therefore project future warming that is unrealistically ...
