    • Rate My Data: Quantifying the Value of Ecological Data for Models of Terrestrial Carbon Cycle 

      Keenan, Trevor; Davidson, Eric; Munger, James; Richardson, Andrew (Ecological Society of America, 2013)
      Primarily driven by concern about rising levels of atmospheric CO2, ecologists and earth system scientists are collecting vast amounts of data related to the carbon cycle. These measurements are generally time-consuming ...

    • Responses of terrestrial ecosystems and carbon budgets to current and future environmental variability 

      Medvigy, D.; Wofsy, Steven Charles; Munger, J. William; Moorcroft, Paul R (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010)
      We assess the significance of high-frequency variability of environmental parameters (sunlight, precipitation, temperature) for the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems under current and future climate. We ...

    • 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. ...
