Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A new concept of n-alkane net primary productivity (NPPalk) is introduced and it is found that alkane productivity estimates range from 300 to 5000 g C/ha/yr, associated with ecological and environmental changes across the elevation profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Implications of Scaling Approaches for Understanding Resilience and Reorganization in Ecosystems
TL;DR: It is argued that scaling provides a powerful tool for understanding resilience and change in ecological systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the general patterns of forest structure: quantifying tree and forest allometric scaling relationships in the United States
TL;DR: In this paper, the structural allometry of forests varies strongly as a function of location in the United States, and the authors compared the fit exponents to two allometric relationships: the relationship between the height of an individual tree and its diameter, and plot-level tree size distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drier tropical forests are susceptible to functional changes in response to a long-term drought

TL;DR: It is found that drier tropical forests have increased their deciduous species abundance and generally changed more functionally than forests growing in wetter conditions, suggesting an enhanced ability to adapt ecologically to a drying environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictability in community dynamics.

TL;DR: This article developed graphical and analytic methods for assessing complex community dynamics and showed that these dynamics can appear in even simple models and that detailed knowledge of past climate change and community states will often be necessary yet sometimes insufficient to make predictions of a community's future state.
