Clark, James S., Lewis, Mark A., Horvath, Lajos
For populations having dispersal described by fat‐tailed kernels (kernels with tails that are not exponentially bounded), asymptotic population spread rates cannot be estimated by traditional models because these models predict continually accelerating (asymptotically infinite) invasion. The...

Modeling the carbon balance of Amazonian rain forests: resolving ecological controls on net ecosystem productivity
Download2009
de Oliveira, R. C., Munger, J. W., Wofsy, S. C., Hutra, L. R., Grant, R. F., Saleska, S. R.
Abstract: There is still much uncertainty about ecological controls on the rate and direction of net CO(2) exchange by tropical rain forests, in spite of their importance to global C cycling. These controls are thought to arise from hydrologic and nutrient constraints to CO(2) fixation caused by...
