TRY - a Global Database of Plant Traits

Plant traits - the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants and their organs - determine how primary producers respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, influence ecosystem …

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 …

Statistical Properties of Random CO2 Flux Measurement Uncertainty Inferred from Model Residuals

Information about the uncertainties associated with eddy covariance measurements of surface-atmosphere CO2 exchange is needed for data assimilation and inverse analyses to estimate model parameters, validation of ecosystem models against flux data, …
