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

PLoS 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.

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

Frontiers 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 ...

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

Journal 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

Gut 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]

The 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.

Understanding intra-annual dynamics of ecosystem services using satellite image time series [PDF]

, 2020
Landscape processes fluctuate over time, influencing the intra-annual dynamics of ecosystem services. However, current ecosystem service assessments generally do not account for such changes.
