Estimating heterotrophic respiration at large scales: challenges, approaches, and next steps

Creator:

Bond-Lamberty, Ben, Epron, Daniel, Harden, Jennifer, Harmon, Mark E., Hoffman, Forrest, Kumar, Jitendra, David McGuire, Anthony, and Vargas, Rodrigo

Abstract:

Heterotrophic respiration (HR), the aerobic and anaerobic processes mineralizing organic matter, is a key carbon flux but one impossible to measure at scales significantly larger than small experimental plots. This impedes our ability to understand carbon and nutrient cycles, benchmark models, or reliably upscale point measurements. Given that a new...

Uncertainty analysis: an evaluation metric for synthesis science

Creator:

Harmon, Mark E., Fasth, Becky, Halpern, Charles B., and Lutz, James A.

Abstract:

The methods for conducting reductionist ecological science are well known and widely used. In contrast, those used in the synthesis of ecological science (i.e., synthesis science) are still being developed, vary widely, and often lack the rigor of reductionist approaches. This is unfortunate because the synthesis of ecological parts into...
