Climate regulation processes are linked to the functional composition of plant communities in European forests, shrublands, and grasslands

Terrestrial ecosystems affect climate by reflecting solar irradiation, evaporative cooling, and carbon sequestration. Yet, little is known about how plant traits affect climate regulation processes in different habitat types. To study the links between the plot-level composition of plant communities...

Resumo:Terrestrial ecosystems affect climate by reflecting solar irradiation, evaporative cooling, and carbon sequestration. Yet, little is known about how plant traits affect climate regulation processes in different habitat types. To study the links between the plot-level composition of plant communities and the satellite-based observations of climate regulation processes, we compiled the climate-adjusted proportion of reflected solar irradiation, evapotranspiration, and net primary productivity across 36,630 grid cells at the European extent, classified into ten types of forest, shrubland and grassland habitats and appended with the bioclimatic variables from the CHELSA Climatologies.
