Iterative near-term ecological forecasting: Needs, opportunities, and challenges
Two foundational questions about sustainability are “How are ecosystems and the services
they provide going to change in the future?” and “How do human decisions affect these …

Why can't we predict traits from the environment?
LDL Anderegg - New Phytologist, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Plant functional traits are powerful ecological tools, but the relationships between plant traits
and climate (or environmental variables more broadly) are often remarkably weak. This …

Forest biogeochemistry in response to drought
Trees alter their use and allocation of nutrients in response to drought, and changes in soil
nutrient cycling and trace gas flux (N2O and CH 4) are observed when experimental drought …

Prediction in ecology: A first‐principles framework
MC Dietze - Ecological Applications, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Quantitative predictions are ubiquitous in ecology, yet there is limited discussion on the
nature of prediction in this field. Herein I derive a general quantitative framework for …

Estimating the sensitivity of stomatal conductance to photosynthesis: a review
GL Miner, WL Bauerle… - Plant, Cell & Environment, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
A common approach for estimating fluxes of CO2 and water in canopy models is to couple a
model of photosynthesis (An) to a semi‐empirical model of stomatal conductance (gs) such …

A test of the 'one‐point method'for estimating maximum carboxylation capacity from field‐measured, light‐saturated photosynthesis
Simulations of photosynthesis by terrestrial biosphere models typically need a specification
of the maximum carboxylation rate (Vcmax). Estimating this parameter using A–Ci curves …
