Uncertainty and Emergent Constraints on Enhanced Ecosystem Carbon Stock by Land Greening

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023
Significant land greening since the 1980s has been detected through satellite observation, forest inventory, and Earth system modeling. However, whether and to what extent global land greening enhances ecosystem carbon stock remains uncertain.

Enabling rational gut microbiome manipulations by understanding gut ecology through experimentally-evidenced in silico models

open access: yesGut Microbes, 2021
The gut microbiome has emerged as a contributing factor in non-communicable disease, rendering it a target of health-promoting interventions. Yet current understanding of the host-microbiome dynamic is insufficient to predict the variation in ...

The role of vadose zone physics in the ecohydrological response of a Tibetan meadow to freeze–thaw cycles [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2020
The vadose zone is a zone sensitive to environmental changes and exerts a crucial control in ecosystem functioning and even more so in cold regions considering the rapid change in seasonally frozen ground under climate warming.

The Drape: a new way to characterize ecosystem states, dynamics, and tipping points from process-based models

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
There are many ways to study ecosystem dynamics, all having several issues. Main limitations of differential equation systems are the necessarily small number of interactions between few variables used, and parameter values to be set before the system ...

Looking beyond stratification: a model-based analysis of the biological drivers of oxygen deficiency in the North Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Low oxygen conditions, often referred to as oxy- gen deficiency, occur regularly in the North Sea, a temperate European shelf sea. Stratification represents a major process regulating the seasonal dynamics of bottom oxygen, yet, low- est oxygen ...

Remotely Sensed High-Resolution Global Cloud Dynamics for Predicting Ecosystem and Biodiversity Distributions. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2016
Cloud cover can influence numerous important ecological processes, including reproduction, growth, survival, and behavior, yet our assessment of its importance at the appropriate spatial scales has remained remarkably limited.

Mainstreaming remotely sensed ecosystem functioning in ecological niche models

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Biodiversity is declining globally at unprecedented rates. Ecological niche models (ENMs) are one of the most widely used toolsets to appraise global change impacts on biodiversity.

Assessing environmental initiatives through an ecosystem stewardship lens

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2021
Stewardship has been increasingly used in the realm of conservation and sustainable land use as an important pathway for action. Ecosystem stewardship, a specific application of this concept, is an approach for natural resource management, but the lack ...
