Upscaling key ecosystem functions across the conterminous United States by a water-centric ecosystem model [PDF]
, 2011 We developed a water-centric monthly scale simulation model (WaSSI-C) by integrating empirical water and carbon flux measurements from the FLUXNET network and an existing water supply and demand accounting model (WaSSI).

Periphyton Function in Lake Ecosystems [PDF]
The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2002 Periphyton communities have received relatively little attention in lake ecosystems. However, evidence is increasing that they play a key role in primary productivity, nutrient cycling, and food web interactions. This review summarizes those findings and places them in a conceptual framework to evaluate the functional importance of periphyton in lakes.

Phylogenetic constraints on ecosystem functioning [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2012 There is consensus that biodiversity losses will result in declining ecosystem functioning if species have different functional traits. Phylogenetic diversity has recently been suggested as a predictor of ecosystem functioning because it could approximate the functional complementarity among species.

Managing estuaries for ecosystem function
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Estuary management is limited by lack of consensus on operational tools for handling multiple conflicting management objectives. One critical step to this goal is a shift from individual problems to a focus on maintaining ecosystem functions that benefit humans.
