Dynamic ecosystem assembly and escaping the "fire trap" in the tropics: insights from FATES_15.0.0
Shuman, Jacquelyn K.; Fisher, Rosie; Koven, Charles; Knox, Ryan; Kueppers, Lara; Xu, Chonggang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Fire is a fundamental part of the Earth system, with impacts on vegetation structure, biomass, and community composition, the latter mediated in part via key fire-tolerance traits, such as bark thickness. Due to anthropogenic ... -
Future climate doubles the risk of hydraulic failure in a wet tropical forest
Robbins, Zachary; Chambers, Jeffrey; Chitra-Tarak, Rutuja; Christoffersen, Bradley; Dickman, L. Turin; Fisher, Rosie; Jonko, Alex; Knox, Ryan; Koven, Charles; Kueppers, Lara; McDowell, Nate; Xu, Chonggang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Future climate presents conflicting implications for forest biomass. We evaluate how plant hydraulic traits, elevated CO2 levels, warming, and changes in precipitation affect forest primary productivity, evapotranspiration, ... -
Quantification of hydraulic trait control on plant hydrodynamics and risk of hydraulic failure within a demographic structured vegetation model in a tropical forest (FATES-HYDRO V1.0)
Xu, Chonggang; Christoffersen, Bradley; Robbins, Zachary; Knox, Ryan; Fisher, Rosie; Chitra-Tarak, Rutuja; Slot, Martijn; Solander, Kurt; Kueppers, Lara; Koven, Charles; McDowell, Nate (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Vegetation plays a key role in the global carbon cycle and thus is an important component within Earth system models (ESMs) that project future climate. Many ESMs are adopting methods to resolve plant size and ecosystem ...
