Abstract: There is large uncertainty whether Amazon forests will remain a carbon sink as atmospheric CO2 increases. Hence, we simulated an old‐growth tropical forest using six versions of four terrestrial models differing in scale of vegetation… read more here.

Abstract: Transpiration makes up the bulk of total evaporation in forested environments yet remains challenging to predict at landscape‐to‐global scales. We harnessed independent estimates of daily transpiration derived from co‐located sap flow and eddy‐covariance measurement systems… read more here.
