Enhancing terrestrial ecosystem sciences by integrating empirical modeling approaches

Integrating empirical-modeling approaches to improve understanding of terrestrial ecology processes.

Recent decades have seen tremendous increases in the quantity of empirical ecological data collected by individual investigators, as well as through research networks such as FLUXNET (Baldocchi et al., 2001). At the same time, advances in computer technology have facilitated the development and implementation of large and complex land surface and ecological process models. Separately, each of t...

Atmosphere-terrestrial ecosystem interactions: implications for coupled modeling

Pielke, R.A., Schimel, D.S., Lee, T.J., Kittel, T.G.F. and Zeng, X., 1993. Atmosphereterrestrial ecosystem interactions: implications for coupled modeling. EcoL Modelling, 67: 5-18. This paper overviews the important interactions between ecosystem and atmospheric dynamics. Examples of suggested procedures to model these interrelationships are introduced. The concept of equilibrium versus non-eq...
