The Sensitivity of Wet and Dry Tropical Forests to Climate Change in Bolivia
TL;DR: In this article, a regionally adapted dynamic vegetation model was implemented for the Bolivian case, and two contrasting climate change projections were evaluated, factoring out the individual contributions of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), temperature, and precipitation.

Identifying important topics for model refinement in a widely used process-based model informed by correlative model analyses in a boreal forest
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied a widely used process-based dynamic vegetation model (LPJ-GUESS) to simulate observed spatial and temporal patterns of the main tree species in Finnish Lapland, and explored the model representation of important processes in order to guide further model development.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a trait-based response-effect-framework is proposed to quantify relationships between abiotic conditions, the diversity of functional traits in communities, and associated biotic processes, informing a biodiversity-LSM.

Environmental Impacts—Terrestrial Ecosystems
Norbert Hölzel,Thomas Hickler,Lars Kutzbach,Hans Joosten,Jakobus van Huissteden,Roland Hiederer +5 more
TL;DR: The effects of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems are highly uncertain, due to the inherent complexity of the processes involved as discussed by the authors, and land use effects are often more important drivers of total ecosystem carbon accumulation than climate change.
