Environmental Modelling & Software, 2004 The Library of Hydro-Ecological Modules (LHEM, http://giee.uvm.edu/LHEM) was designed to create flexible landscape model structures that can be easily modified and extended to suit the requirements of a variety of goals and case studies. The LHEM includes modules that simulate hydrologic processes, nutrient cycling, vegetation growth, decomposition ...

The case for marine ecosystem models of intermediate complexity [PDF]
, 2009 Marine ecosystem models are reasonably proficient at simulating physically-driven features such as spring blooms. However, the demands on these models are shifting to complex biological issues such as functional diversity, and changes in ecosystems and ...

High precipitation rates increase potassium density in plant communities in the Tibetan Plateau
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Potassium is essential for plant growth. However, our understanding of potassium in plant materials is limited due to a lack of systematic studies. Here, we measured potassium content in 2,040 ecosystem communities during the period 2019-2021 applying ...

Modelling an ecosystem: The example of agro-ecosystems
Ecological Modelling, 2011 Abstract Methods to predict ecosystem responses to changing environmental conditions, including options for mitigation and management, are vital for scientists and policy makers. We propose that modelling ecosystems by grouping species into trophic-functional types has great utility, because it is potentially generic and applicable to any ecosystem ...

Dynamic Threshold of Carbon Phenology in Two Cold Temperate Grasslands in China
Remote Sensing, 2021 Plant phenology, especially the timing of the start and the end of the vegetation growing season (SOS and EOS), plays a major role in grassland ecosystem carbon cycles.

Dysfunctionality in ecosystem models: an underrated pitfall? [PDF]
, 2009 Including causal mechanisms in model formulations is the key to predictive success. Yet it would appear that much of our latest (specifically ecophysiological) understanding accruing from phenomological evidence and experimental work is often not being ...

Aboveground biomass estimation at different scales for subtropical forests in China
Botanical Studies, 2017 Background The accurate estimation of forest biomass at different scales is the critical step in the assessment of forest carbon stocks. We used three models at increasing scales: allometric model at ecoregional scale (model 1), dummy variable allometric
