    • A bottom-up perspective on ecosystem change in Mesozoic oceans 

      Knoll, Andrew H.; Follows, Michael J. (The Royal Society, 2016)
      Mesozoic and Early Cenozoic marine animals across multiple phyla record secular trends in morphology, environmental distribution, and inferred behaviour that are parsimoniously explained in terms of increased selection ...

    • Modeling Analysis of Primary Controls on Net Ecosystem Productivity of Seven Boreal and Temperate Coniferous Forests Across a Continental Transect 

      Yuan, Fengming; Arain, M. Altaf; Barr, Alan G.; Black, T. Andrew; Bourque, Charles P. A.; Coursolle, Carole; Margolis, Hank A.; McCaughey, J. Harry; Wofsy, Steven C. (Blackwell Publishing, 2008)
      Process-based models are effective tools to synthesize and/or extrapolate measured carbon (C) exchanges from individual sites to large scales. In this study, we used a C- and nitrogen (N)-cycle coupled ecosystem model named ...

    • Seasonal carbon dynamics and water fluxes in an Amazon rainforest 

      Kim, Yeonjoo; Knox, Ryan G.; Longo, Marcos; Medvigy, David; Hutyra, Lucy; Pyle, Elizabeth; Wofsy, Steven Charles; Bras, Rafael L.; Moorcroft, Paul R (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)
      Satellite-based observations indicate that seasonal patterns in canopy greenness and productivity in the Amazon are negatively correlated with precipitation, with increased greenness occurring during the dry months. Flux ...
