In this commentary, we highlight the recent advancements in the field of mountain treeline response to climate change in the work by He et al. (2023). We summarize their work from the perspectives of mountain treeline spatial distribution, their bioclimatic controls, and their diverse responses to changes in global climate patterns. We expect wide implications from the work of He et al. (2023), and

CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT The authors declare no conflict of interest.

In Greek mythology, the beautiful goddess Andromeda is freed from the ravages of Cetus, a terrible sea monster, by Perseus who has fallen in love with her. The two love-birds eventually wed and Andromeda produces six sons, and lives a fulsome life. But what has this cheery tale got to do with bogs? Back on planet Earth, Andromeda polifolia, and many related ericaceous shrub species, are also reproducing

Geoscientists and ecologists alike must confront the impact of climate change on ecosystems and the services they provide. In the marine realm, major changes are projected in net primary and export production, with significant repercussions on food security, carbon storage, and climate system feedbacks. However, these projections do not include the potential for rapid linear evolution to facilitate

In the paper by Lembrechts et al. (2022), we found a coding mistake in the calculation of our monthly mean temperature offsets' values, which were used as the response variable in our model. When calculating the monthly mean temperatures of each of the in-situ temperature time series, we accidentally shifted these microclimate time series forward with half a month by using a faulty code in the statistical

Sequestration of persistent soil organic carbon (SOC) is seen as a cost-effective and scalable CO2 removal strategy, so it is critical to understand whether soils have a finite capacity to store mineral-associated organic C (MAOC)—on average more persistent than particulate organic C (POC). Since the conceptualization of “soil C saturation” around the turn of the century, many have embraced it and

The published article “Land use changes biomass and temporal patterns of insect cross-ecosystem flows” (https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16462) contained a calculation error in the means per season of the environmental parameters. These were used in the (generalized) linear mixed-effects models ((G)LMM) to identify land-use related drivers associated with changes in biomass and abundance of emergent aquatic
