Inferring processes within dynamic forest models using hybrid modelling
Abstract Modelling forest dynamics under novel climatic conditions requires a careful balance between process‐based understanding and empirical flexibility. Dynamic vegetation models (DVM) represent ecological processes mechanistically, but their performance is sensitive to misspecified functional forms and to unavoidable structural simplifications ...

Why did Putin invade Ukraine? A theory of degenerate autocracy
