Journal ArticleDOI

Rosie A. Fisher,Charles D. Koven,William R. L. Anderegg,Bradley O. Christoffersen,Michael Dietze,Caroline E. Farrior,Jennifer A. Holm,George C. Hurtt,Ryan G. Knox,Peter Lawrence,Jeremy W. Lichstein,Marcos Longo,Ashley M. Matheny,David Medvigy,Helene C. Muller-Landau,Thomas L. Powell,Shawn P. Serbin,Hisashi Sato,Jacquelyn K. Shuman,Benjamin Smith,Anna T.

TL;DR: It is argued that stronger and more innovative connections to data are required to address gaps in understanding, and that constrained predictions at ecologically relevant spatial and temporal scales will require a similar investment of effort and intensified inter-disciplinary communication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic scaling of ecosystem function and dynamics in space and time: Ecosystem Demography model version 2
TL;DR: In this article, a constrained implementation of a new structured TBM, the Ecosystem Demography model version 2 (ED2), which explicitly tracks the dynamics of fine-scale ecosystem structure and function is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photosynthetic seasonality of global tropical forests constrained by hydroclimate
Kaiyu Guan,Kaiyu Guan,Ming Pan,Haibin Li,Adam Wolf,Jin Wu,David Medvigy,Kelly K. Caylor,Justin Sheffield,Eric F. Wood,Yadvinder Malhi,Miaoling Liang,John S. Kimball,Scott R. Saleska,Joseph A. Berry,Joanna Joiner,Alexei Lyapustin +16 more
TL;DR: The authors showed that dry-season productivity in tropical forests can decline when precipitation is below 2,000 mm yr−1, resulting in insufficient subsurface water storage to maintain constant production through the dry season.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity in plant hydraulic traits explains seasonal and inter-annual variations of vegetation dynamics in seasonally dry tropical forests
TL;DR: Compared with the original ED2, predictions from the novel trait-driven model matched better with observed growth, phenology and their variations among functional groups, and was better able to simulate spatial patterns of LAI dynamics in Central America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Will seasonally dry tropical forests be sensitive or resistant to future changes in rainfall regimes
Kara Allen,Juan Manuel Dupuy,Maria G. Gei,Catherine M. Hulshof,David Medvigy,David Medvigy,Camila Pizano,Beatriz Salgado-Negret,Christina M. Smith,Annette M. Trierweiler,Skip J. Van Bloem,Bonnie G. Waring,Xiangtao Xu,Jennifer S. Powers +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied how individuals, species, and communities in seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) will cope with the hotter, drier conditions predicted by climate models.
