rsofun v5.0: A model-data integration framework for simulating ecosystem processes

rsofun v5.0 provides a computationally efficient framework for ecosystem process simulation and model-data integration, demonstrating its use in estimating CO2 uptake and uncertainty.

Tree growth enhancement drives a persistent biomass gain in unmanaged temperate forests

The paper examines how increased tree growth in unmanaged temperate forests leads to persistent biomass gains despite reduced tree longevity and density-driven mortality.

Global terrestrial nitrogen uptake and nitrogen use efficiency

The paper quantifies global nitrogen uptake and use efficiency in plants using regression models and remote sensing data, finding that NUE is influenced by climate and allocation patterns.

Deep learning for satellite image forecasting of vegetation greenness

This paper uses deep learning to forecast vegetation greenness from satellite data, showing improved performance during droughts compared to existing benchmarks.

Acclimation of phenology relieves leaf longevity constraints in deciduous forests

The paper shows that phenological acclimation allows deciduous forests to overcome leaf longevity constraints, leading to increased CO2 uptake over time.

Global distribution of the rooting zone water storage capacity reflects plant adaptation to the environment

The paper develops a method to predict global variations in rooting zone water storage capacity using vegetation activity and water deficit data, showing adaptation of rooting depth to hydroclimate and topography.

Photosynthetic acclimation and sensitivity to short- and long-term environmental changes

The paper investigates how long-term irrigation affects tree sensitivity to short-term environmental changes in a Scots pine forest, finding reduced sensitivity to vapor pressure deficit after prolonged irrigation.

Towards a unified theory of plant photosynthesis and hydraulics

This paper introduces a trait-based optimality theory that unifies stomatal responses and plant biochemical acclimation, validated with experimental data from 18 species.
