Abstract Heatwaves are likely to increase in frequency and intensity with climate change, which may impair tree function forest C uptake. However, we have little information regarding the impact of extreme heatwaves on physiological performance large trees field. Here, grew Eucalyptus parramattensis for 1 year experimental warming (+3°C) a field setting, until they were greater than 6 m tall. We withheld irrigation month dry surface soils then implemented an heatwave treatment 4 consecutive...
Abstract The capacity for terrestrial ecosystems to sequester additional carbon (C) with rising CO 2 concentrations depends on soil nutrient availability 1,2 . Previous evidence suggested that mature forests growing phosphorus (P)-deprived soils had limited extra biomass under elevated (refs. 3–6 ), but uncertainty about ecosystem P cycling and its response represents a crucial bottleneck mechanistic prediction of the land C sink climate change 7 Here, by compiling first comprehensive budget...
Abstract Process‐based models describing biogeochemical cycling are crucial tools to understanding long‐term nutrient dynamics, especially in the context of perturbations, such as climate and land‐use change. Such must effectively synthesize ecological processes properties. For example, terrestrial ecosystems, plants primary source bioavailable carbon, but turnover rates essential nutrients contingent on interactions between soil biota. Yet, have traditionally considered plant communities...
Summary Biodiversity and ecosystem services continue to be compromised by land‐use change, which is often focussed on enhancing agricultural production. Assessment of losses would aided analyses temporal changes in the extent spatial pattern biodiversity. To date, no studies have mapped long‐term using historical maps. We between 1930s – before considerable intensification land use UK starting 1940s 2000 climate change amelioration (carbon storage), provisioning (agriculture forestry) plant...
Elevated CO2 affects C cycling processes which in turn can influence the nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations of plant tissues. Given differences how N P are used by plants, we asked if their stoichiometry leaves wood was maintained or altered a long-term elevated experiment mature Eucalyptus forest on low soil (EucFACE). We measured green at different ages top trees across 6 years including 5 CO2. senesced were determined to evaluate both spatial temporal variation leaf...
Vapour pressure deficit (D) is projected to increase in the future as temperature rises. In response increased D, stomatal conductance (gs) and photosynthesis (A) are reduced, which may result significant reductions terrestrial carbon, water energy fluxes. It thus important for gas exchange models capture observed responses of gs A with increasing D. We tested a series coupled A-gs against leaf measurements from Cumberland Plain Woodland (Australia), where D regularly exceeds 2 kPa can reach...
In 2019, south-eastern Australia experienced its driest and hottest year on record, resulting in massive canopy dieback events eucalypt dominated forests. A subsequent period of high precipitation 2020 provided a rare opportunity to quantify the impacts extreme drought consequent recovery. We quantified health hydraulic impairment (native percent loss conductivity, PLC) 18 native tree species growing at 15 sites that were heavily impacted by both during 8-10 months after drought. Most...

Abstract Aim Global biomes are often classified by mean annual temperature and precipitation, but there is significant overlap between biomes, making it difficult to interpret the role of climate in distribution globally. Climate predictability (including long‐term reliability both seasonality inter‐annual variability) varies considerably regulates biodiversity distribution, adaptation evolution, its global pattern has rarely been investigated. The aim this study was characterize climatic...
Abstract Atmospheric carbon dioxide enrichment (eCO 2 ) can enhance plant uptake and growth 1,2,3,4,5 , thereby providing an important negative feedback to climate change by slowing the rate of increase atmospheric CO concentration 6 . While evidence gathered from young aggrading forests has generally indicated a strong fertilization effect on biomass 3,4,5 it is unclear whether mature respond eCO in similar way. In trees forest stands 7,8,9,10 photosynthetic been found under without any...
Elevated atmospheric CO2 (eCa ) may benefit plants during drought by reducing stomatal conductance (gs but any 'water savings effect' could be neutralized concurrent stimulation of leaf area. We investigated whether eCa enhanced water savings, thereby ameliorating the impact on carbon and relations in trees. report leaf-level gas exchange whole-plant soil a short-term dry-down two Eucalyptus species with contrasting tolerance.

Building energy assessment models are considered to be one of the most informative methods in building efficiency design, and current have been developed based on machine learning algorithms. Deep proved their effectiveness fields such as image fault detection. This paper proposes a deep framework with interpretability support design. The proposed is validated using Commercial Energy Consumption Survey dataset, results show that wrapper feature selection method (Sequential Forward...
Abstract. The response of mature forest ecosystems to a rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration (Ca) is major uncertainty in projecting the future trajectory Earth's climate. Although leaf-level net photosynthesis typically stimulated by exposure elevated Ca (eCa), it unclear how this stimulation translates into cycle responses at ecosystem scale. Here we estimate key component cycle, gross primary productivity (GPP), native eucalypt exposed free-air CO2 enrichment (the EucFACE...
