Global terrestrial ecosystems take up around one-third of human emission of CO 2 (Friedlingstein et al., 2020). With recent climate change, the seasonality of terrestrial ecosystems, a sensitive indicator of biosphere-climate interactions, has been reported to be changing (Piao et al., 2007;Seddon et al., 2016). Longer growing seasons have been associated with increased carbon uptake by many ecosystems (Keenan et al., 2014), but the dominant controls of the growing season length remain relatively poorly understood.The start of growing season (SOS) has been found to have advanced in most ecosystems and is known to be largely controlled by air temperature in temperate and boreal ecosystems (Chmielewski
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
