    • Species interactions slow warming-induced upward shifts of treelines on the Tibetan Plateau 

      Liang, Eryuan; Wang, Yafeng; Piao, Shilong; Lu, Xiaoming; Camarero, Jesús Julio; Zhu, Haifeng; Zhu, Liping; Ellison, Aaron M.; Ciais, Philippe; Peñuelas, Josep (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016)
      The alpine treeline is commonly regarded as being sensitive to climatic warming because regeneration and growth of trees at treeline generally are limited by low temperature. The alpine treelines of the Tibetan Plateau ...

    • Terrestrial Biosphere Model Performance for Inter-Annual Variability of Land-Atmosphere CO2 Exchange 

      Keenan, Trevor; Baker, Ian; Barr, Alan; Ciais, Philippe; Dietze, Michael; Dragoni, Danillo; Gough, Christopher; Grant, Robert; Hollinger, David; Hufkens, Koen; Poulter, Ben; McCaughey, Harry; Racza, Brett; Ryu, Youngryel; Schaefer, Kevin; Tian, Hanqin; Verbeeeck, Hans; Zhao, Maosheng; Richardson, Andrew (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)
      Interannual variability in biosphere-atmosphere exchange of CO2 is driven by a diverse range of biotic and abiotic factors. Replicating this variability thus represents the ‘acid test’ for terrestrial biosphere models. ...

    • Terrestrial biosphere models need better representation of vegetation phenology: results from the North American Carbon Program Site Synthesis 

      Richardson, Andrew; Anderson, Ryan S.; Arain, M. Altaf; Barr, Alan G.; Bohrer, Gil; Chen, Guangsheng; Chen, Jing M.; Ciais, Philippe; Davis, Kenneth J.; Desai, Ankur R.; Dietze, Michael C.; Dragoni, Danilo; Garrity, Steven R.; Gough, Christopher M.; Grant, Robert; Hollinger, David Y.; Margolis, Hank A.; McCaughey, Harry; Migliavacca, Mirco; Monson, Russell K.; Munger, J. William; Poulter, Benjamin; Raczka, Brett M.; Ricciuto, Daniel M.; Sahoo, Alok K.; Schaefer, Kevin; Tian, Hanqin; Vargas, Rodrigo; Verbeeck, Hans; Xiao, Jingfeng; Xue, Yongkang (Wiley Blackwell (Blackwell Publishing), 2012)
      Phenology, by controlling the seasonal activity of vegetation on the land surface, plays a fundamental role in regulating photosynthesis and other ecosystem processes, as well as competitive interactions and feedbacks to ...
