This paper defines wildfire regimes using eco-evolutionary principles, showing that fuel availability and dryness drive fire behavior and that human activities and vegetation modify these regimes.

The paper explains 60% of global variation in sapwood-to-leaf area ratio using optimality principles linking plant hydraulics and photosynthesis.

The paper predicts and validates the temperature sensitivity of stem respiration, showing thermal acclimation reduces global carbon emissions.

This paper develops a global prognostic leaf phenology model that outperforms existing DGVMs in capturing LAI dynamics across biomes.
