Confronting Model Predictions of Carbon Fluxes with Measurements of Amazon Forests Subjected to Experimental Drought
(Wiley Blackwell, 2013)Considerable uncertainty surrounds the fate of Amazon rainforests in response to climate change. Here, carbon (C) flux predictions of five terrestrial biosphere models (Community Land Model version 3.5 (CLM3.5), Ecosystem ... -
Fidelity of climate data: Trends, extremes, and nonlinearities in instrumental and tree-growth proxies of climate
(2023-01-12)This work looks at inferences of climate -- and specifically moisture and temperature --, past and present. In the present, asks whether we have enough data to understand extremes in temperature and trends in moisture. ...
