Abstract

The forest canopy is the functional interface between 90% of Earth's terrestrial biomass and the atmosphere. Multidisciplinary research in the canopy has expanded concepts of global species richness, physiological processes, and the provision of ecosystem services. Trees respond in a species-specific manner to elevated carbon dioxide levels, while climate change threatens plant-animal interactions in the canopy and will likely alter the production of biogenic aerosols that affect cloud formation and atmospheric chemistry.

摘要

森林冠层是地球上90%的陆地生物量与大气之间的功能界面。对冠层的多学科研究拓展了全球物种丰富度、生理过程以及生态系统服务提供等方面的概念。树木对二氧化碳水平升高的反应具有物种特异性，而气候变化威胁着冠层中的动植物相互作用，并可能改变影响云形成和大气化学的生物源气溶胶的产生。
