17. Grasslands in a changing climate : Summer drought and winter warming effects on grassland vegetation
Abstract : Grasslands harbour a high biodiversity of both plants and animals, and they provide many ecosystem services such as fodder production, pollination, and carbon storage. Climate change is likely to alter grassland ecosystems, with the effects varying according to the exact nature and timing of changes. READ MORE

18. Climate Change sensitivity of Photosynthesis and Respiration in Tropical Trees
Abstract : Tropical climate is getting warmer, with more pronounced dry periods in large areas. The productivity and climate feedbacks of future tropical forests depend on the ability of trees to acclimate their physiological processes, such as photosynthesis and leaf respiration, to these new conditions.
