Just published, a land-mark paper by Annemarie Eckes-Shephard et al.! It assesses the performance of a new generation of Demography-enabled Dynamic Global Vegetation (D-DGVMs), that attempt to simulate the changing size and age structure of trees in forests.

Limited carbon sequestration potential from global ecosystem restoration - our paper was born of collective frustration around continual conflation of restoration + reforestation, invariably misrepresenting open ecosystems in global models of ecosystem C storage potential.

The maximum carbon sequestration potential from global terrestrial ecosystem restoration efforts until 2100 is 96.9 Gt, which is equivalent to 3.7–12.0% of anthropogenic emissions until then, accordin...

Some physiological processes that can be neglected when measuring gas exchange in happy plants become important when dealing with stressed plants. In this paper we outline the things that might cause trouble under suboptimal conditions.
