Next-generation dynamic global vegetation models: learning from community ecology.
Dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) are powerful tools to project past, current and future vegetation patterns and associated biogeochemical cycles. However, most models are limited by how they define vegetation and by their simplistic representation of competition. We discuss how concepts from community assembly theory and coexistence theory can help to improve vegetation models. We furth...
متن کاملA Representation of Variable Root Distribution in Dynamic Vegetation Models
Root distribution is treated as a static component in most current dynamic vegetation models (DVMs). While changes in leaf and stem biomass are reflected in leaf area index (LAI) and vegetation height via specific leaf area (SLA) and allometric relationships, most DVMs assume that changes in root biomass do not result in changes in the root distribution profile and rooting depth. That is, the f...
متن کاملRelating Ers Scatterometer Data to Global Vegetation Models
ERS scatterometer (WSC) measurements provide an ideal source of data for large-scale studies of vegetation dynamics because of their good coverage in a relatively short time. The seasonal backscatter changes of a range of vegetation types are examined and related to the vegetation biophysical properties and weather patterns. Moreover, backscattering coefficient, σ, patterns are compared to the ...
متن کاملShifts in Global Vegetation Activity Trends
Vegetation belongs to the components of the Earth surface, which are most extensively studied using historic and present satellite records. Recently, these records exceeded a 30-year time span composed of preprocessed fortnightly observations (1981–2011). The existence of monotonic changes and trend shifts present in such records has previously been demonstrated. However, information on timing ...
متن کاملA comparison of neural network and process-based models for vegetation distribution under global climate change
Ecological models based on physical, chemical, and biological processes are diicult to develop and calibrate. Neural network methods provide an attractive alternative where the model is constructed automatically. We compared the MAPSS global vegetation model to a collection of neural network models trained on a data set covering current climate and vegetation distribution in the coterminous Uni...
