Equilibration of the terrestrial water, nitrogen, and carbon cycles [PDF]
, 1997 Recent advances in biologically based ecosystem models of the coupled terrestrial, hydrological, carbon, and nutrient cycles have provided new perspectives on the terrestrial biosphere’s behavior globally, over a range of time scales.

Generalization and evaluation of the process-based forest ecosystem model PnET-CN for other biomes [PDF]
, 2015 Terrestrial ecosystems play an important role in carbon, water, and nitrogen cycling. Process-based ecosystem models, including PnET-CN, have been widely used to simulate ecosystem processes during the last two decades.

Assessing the comparative productivity advantage of bioenergy feedstocks at different latitudes
Environmental Research Letters, 2012 We evaluate the comparative productivity of maize and sugarcane biofuel feedstocks as a function of latitude. Solar radiation for photosynthesis varies by latitude and contributes to differential productivity of tropical and temperate zones. We calculate

Seasonal differences in the CO2 exchange of a short-hydroperiod Florida Everglades marsh [PDF]
, 2010 Although wetlands are among the world\u27s most productive ecosystems, little is known of long-term CO2 exchange in tropical and subtropical wetlands. The Everglades is a highly managed wetlands complex occupying \u3e6000 km2 in south Florida.

Influence of Spring and Autumn Phenological Transitions on Forest Ecosystem Productivity [PDF]
, 2010 We use eddy covariance measurements of net ecosystem productivity (NEP) from 21 FLUXNET sites (153 site-years of data) to investigate relationships between phenology and productivity (in terms of both NEP and gross ecosystem photosynthesis, GEP) in ...

Interactions between carbon and nitrogen dynamics in estimating net primary productivity for potential vegetation in North America [PDF]
, 1992 We use the terrestrial ecosystem model (TEM), a process-based model, to investigate how interactions between carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics affect predictions of net primary productivity (NPP) for potential vegetation in North America. Data on pool

The 2010 spring drought reduced primary productivity in southwestern China [PDF]
, 2012 Many parts of the world experience frequent and severe droughts. Summer drought can significantly reduce primary productivity and carbon sequestration capacity. The impacts of spring droughts, however, have received much less attention.
