Bridging the gap from ocean models to population dynamics of large marine predators: A model of mid-trophic functional groups [PDF]
, 2009 The modeling of mid-trophic organisms of the pelagic ecosystem is a critical step in linking the coupled physical–biogeochemical models to population dynamics of large pelagic predators. Here, we provide an example of a modeling approach with definitions

Constraining ecosystem processes from tower fluxes and atmospheric profiles [PDF]
, 2011 The planetary boundary layer (PBL) provides an important link between the scales and processes resolved by global atmospheric sampling/modeling and site-based flux measurements.

Early detection of ecosystem regime shifts: A multiple method evaluation for management application [PDF]
, 2012 Critical transitions between alternative stable states have been shown to occur across an array of complex systems. While our ability to identify abrupt regime shifts in natural ecosystems has improved, detection of potential early-warning signals ...

The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Although alpine meadows of Tibet are expected to be strongly affected by climatic warming, it remains unclear how soil organic C (SOC), total N (TN), ammonium N (NH4+-N) , nitrate N (NO3+-N), and dissolved organic C (DOC) and N (DON) respond to warming ...

Coupling low and high trophic levels models: Towards a pathways-orientated approach for end-to-end models [PDF]
, 2009 Existing models of marine ecosystems address specific issues related to the bottom-up forcing of production or to the top-down effects of fishing on a limited range of the trophic spectrum.

Nonlinear response of ecosystem respiration to multiple levels of temperature increases
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Global warming exerts profound impacts on terrestrial carbon cycles and feedback to climates. Ecosystem respiration (ER) is one of the main components of biosphere CO2 fluxes. However, knowledge regarding how ER responds to warming is still lacking.

Response of Soil Respiration to Grazing in an Alpine Meadow at Three Elevations in Tibet
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Alpine meadows are one major type of pastureland on the Tibetan Plateau. However, few studies have evaluated the response of soil respiration (Rs) to grazing along an elevation gradient in an alpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau.
