Species‐specific hydraulic traits play an important role in ecosystem response to water stress; however, representation of biodiverse forest canopies remains a challenge in land surface models. We introduce FETCH4, a… More
Despite decades of progress, much remains unknown about successional trajectories of carbon (C) cycling in north temperate forests. Drivers and mechanisms of these changes, including the role of different types… More
Linking biometric measurements of stand-level biomass growth to tower-based measurements of carbon uptake—gross primary productivity and net ecosystem productivity—has been the focus of numerous ecosystem-level studies aimed to better understand… More
Climate extremes such as heat waves and droughts are projected to occur more Frequently with increasing temperature and an intensified hydrological cycle. It is Important to understand and quantify how… More
Many secondary deciduous forests of eastern North America are approaching a transition in which maturing early successional tree species are declining, resulting in an uncertain future for this century-long carbon… More
Three-dimensional (3D) vegetation canopy structure plays an important role in the way radiation interacts with the land surface. Accurately representing this process in Earth System models (ESMs) is crucial for… More
Large datasets of greenhouse gas and energy surface-atmosphere fluxes measured with the eddy-covariance technique (e.g., FLUXNET2015, AmeriFlux BASE) are widely used to benchmark models and remote-sensing products. This study addresses… More
