TL;DR: A critical reassessment of the quality and the robustness of these models across tropical forest types, using a large dataset of 2,410 trees ≥ 5 cm diameter, directly harvested in 27 study sites across the tropics, is provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reconcile two long-standing theories of stomatal conductance, i.e., the theoretical argument that stomata should act to minimize the amount of water used per unit carbon gained, and the empirical approach, which is most commonly used in vegetation models, is phenomenological, based on experimental observations of Stomatal behaviour in response to environmental conditions.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the direct effects of increase in the global atmospheric CO 2 concentration on natural and commercial temperate trees and forests and the impact on the ecology and environment of woods and forests, and the downstream, socio-economic consequences.

TL;DR: The FLUXNET2015 dataset provides ecosystem-scale data on CO 2 , water, and energy exchange between the biosphere and the atmosphere, and other meteorological and biological measurements, from 212 sites around the globe, and is detailed in this paper.

TL;DR: Findings provide a conceptual model of ecosystem properties at the decadal scale applicable to the widespread altered hydroclimatic conditions that are predicted for later this century, and may allow us to predict land-surface consequences as large regions become more arid.
