Estimating Causal Networks in Biosphere-Atmosphere Interaction with the PCMCI Approach

The dynamics of biochemical processes in terrestrial ecosystems are tightly coupled to local meteorological conditions. Understanding these interactions is an essential prerequisite for predicting, e.g. the response of the terrestrial carbon cycle to …

Reviews and Syntheses: An Empirical Spatiotemporal Description of the Global Surface-Atmosphere Carbon Fluxes: Opportunities and Data Limitations

Understanding the global carbon (C) cycle is of crucial importance to map current and future climate dynamics relative to global environmental change. A full characterization of C cycling requires detailed information on spatiotemporal patterns of …

A Framework for Benchmarking Land Models

Land models, which have been developed by the modeling community in the past few decades to predict future states of ecosystems and climate, have to be critically evaluated for their performance skills of simulating ecosystem responses and feedback …

Comparing Observations and Process-Based Simulations of Biosphere-Atmosphere Exchanges on Multiple Timescales

Terrestrial biosphere models are indispensable tools for analyzing the biosphere-atmosphere exchange of carbon and water. Evaluation of these models using site level observations scrutinizes our current understanding of biospheric responses to …
