Tackling unresolved questions in forest ecology: The past and future role of simulation models
Understanding the processes that shape forest functioning, structure, and diversity remains
challenging, although data on forest systems are being collected at a rapid pace and across …

Modeling ambitions outpace observations of forest carbon allocation
There have been vociferous calls for 'tree-centered'vegetation models to refine predictions of
forest carbon (C) cycling. Unfortunately, our global survey at flux-tower sites indicates …

Do stomata optimize turgor‐driven growth? A new framework for integrating stomata response with whole‐plant hydraulics and carbon balance
Every existing optimal stomatal model uses photosynthetic carbon assimilation as a proxy
for plant evolutionary fitness. However, assimilation and growth are often decoupled, making …

Plant respiration: controlled by photosynthesis or biomass?
Two simplifying hypotheses have been proposed for whole‐plant respiration. One links
respiration to photosynthesis; the other to biomass. Using a first‐principles carbon balance …

Feasibility of enhancing carbon sequestration and stock capacity in temperate and boreal European forests via changes to management regimes
Forest management practices might act as nature-based methods to remove CO 2 from the
atmosphere and slow anthropogenic climate change and thus support an EU forest-based …
