Abstract:: A process-based forest growth model, 3-PG (Physiological Principles Predicting Growth), parameterized with values of soil properties constrained by satellite-derived estimates of maximum leaf area index (LAI[subscript max]), was run for Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) to contrast the extent to which site growth potential might vary across western North America between a...

Abstract:: Model–data comparisons of plant physiological processes provide an understanding of mechanisms underlying vegetation responses to climate. We simulated the physiology of a pi~non pine–juniper woodland (Pinus edulis–Juniperus monosperma) that experienced mortality during a 5 yr precipitation-reduction experiment, allowing a framework with which to examine our knowledge of drought-induced tree mortality....

Abstract:: The Mongolian Steppe is one of the largest remaining grassland ecosystems. Recent studies have reported widespread decline of vegetation across the steppe and about 70% of this ecosystem is now considered degraded. Among the scientific community there has been an active debate about whether the observed degradation is related to...

Creator:: Waring, Richard H.
Abstract:: Over the last decade a new perspective on how forest ecosystems operate has emerged. Ecosystems appear much more flexible than we once thought. Even the most persistent is still evolving in composition. Yet for all their diversity, very similar processes are seen as operating in all forests, providing a point...

Creator:: Waring, Richard H., Running, S. W., Holbo, Harold Richard, Kline, J. R., U.S. International Biological Program. Coniferous Forest Biome, and University of Washington
Abstract:: In the Coniferous Forest Biome, many of the understory as well as dominant plants are evergreen and thus water uptake is a year around process. The flow of water from the soil through plants to the atmosphere affects the entire forest ecosystem. As water is evaporated, it absorbs heat and...
