Generating surfaces of daily meteorological variables over large regions of complex terrain
TLDR
In this paper, a method for generating daily surfaces of temperature, precipitation, humidity, and radiation over large regions of complex terrain is presented, based on the spatial convolution of a truncated Gaussian weighting filter with the set of station locations.About:

TL;DR: Recruitment was greatly restricted by competition with dense bamboos on the southeastern aspect, and the different responses of radial growth to climatic variability on both the aspects might be mainly due to the micro-environmental conditions.

Evaluating the key assumptions underlying dendro-provenancing: How to spruce it up with a scissor plot
TL;DR: The ‘k-Nearest Neighbors leave one-out cross-validation’ process (k-NN) is proposed as a method for validating dendro-provenancing approaches and results indicate that d endro- provenancing depends heavily on differences in between sites high-frequency signal.

TL;DR: The preservation of ecosystem processes can be an important conservation target that complements conservation goals for species and habitats in the Climate-Smart Conservation framework (Glick, Stein, and Edelson 2011; Stein et al. 2014) as discussed by the authors.

Investigating old-growth ponderosa pine physiology using tree-rings, δ13C, δ18O, and a process-based model
TL;DR: A submodel of δ18Ocell is incorporated into the widely used Physiological Principles in Predicting Growth (3‐PG) model for the first time, to complement a recently added δ13Ccell submodel, and aspects of leaf‐level anatomy such as the effective path length for transport of water from the xylem to the sites of evaporation could be estimated.

A Statistical-Topographic Model for Mapping Climatological Precipitation over Mountainous Terrain
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analytical model that distributes point measurements of monthly and annual precipitation to regularly spaced grid cells in midlatitude regions, using a combination of climatological and statistical concepts to analyze orographic precipitation.

A general model of forest ecosystem processes for regional applications I. Hydrologic balance, canopy gas exchange and primary production processes
TL;DR: In this paper, an ecosystem process model is described that calculates the carbon, water and nitrogen cycles through a forest ecosystem, which uses leaf area index (lai) to quantify the forest structure important for energy and mass exchange, and represents a key simplification for regional scale applications.

On the relationship between incoming solar radiation and daily maximum and minimum temperature
TL;DR: In this article, a relationship between atmospheric transmittance and the daily range of air temperature is developed, where the relationship is Tt = A[1 −exp(exp(BΔTc)] where Tt is the daily total atmospherictransmittance, ΔT is the average air temperature, and A, B, and C are empirical coefficients, determined for a particular location from measured solar radiation data.
