Journal ArticleDOI
Challenging terrestrial biosphere models with data from the long-term multifactor Prairie Heating and CO2 Enrichment experiment
Martin G. De Kauwe,Belinda E. Medlyn,Anthony P. Walker,Sönke Zaehle,Shinichi Asao,Bertrand Guenet,Anna B. Harper,Thomas Hickler,Atul K. Jain,Yiqi Luo,Xingjie Lu,K. A. Luus,William J.

TL;DR: It is found models performed poorly in ambient conditions; there was a wide spread in simulated above‐ground net primary productivity and a series of key areas in which this and future experiments could be used to improve model predictions of grassland responses to global change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evapotranspiration simulations in ISIMIP2a—Evaluation of spatio-temporal characteristics with a comprehensive ensemble of independent datasets

TL;DR: In this paper, a range of independent global monthly land evapotranspiration (ET) estimates were compared with historical model simulations from the global water, agriculture, and biomes sectors participating in the second phase of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP2a).
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential impact of large ungulate grazers on African vegetation, carbon storage and fire regimes
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential impacts of grazing on grass biomass, competition between grasses and trees, the occurrence and effects of wildfire and biome distribution were simulated with a model that couples a physiological grazer population model with a physiological dynamic vegetation one (not including the effects of browsing).
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting habitat affinities of plant species using commonly measured functional traits
Bill Shipley,Michaël Belluau,Ingolf Kühn,Nadejda A. Soudzilovskaia,Michael Bahn,Josep Peñuelas,Jens Kattge,Lawren Sack,Jeannine Cavender-Bares,Wim A.

TL;DR: These prediction equations, and their eventual extensions, could be used to provide approximate descriptions of habitat affinities of large numbers of species worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree and timberline shifts in the northern Romanian Carpathians during the Holocene and the responses to environmental changes
TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-proxy palaeoecological approach (plant macro-remains, pollen, charcoal) applied to three Holocene sediment sequences (between 1540 and 1810 m a.s.l.) in the Rodna Mountains documents past treeline and timberline shifts in response to climate change and human impact to anticipate the likely future responses.
