This paper extends the least-cost theory of stomatal regulation to include soil moisture stress, showing improved predictive power using global data.

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.

The paper investigates why models underestimate West African tropical forest productivity and finds that using local field measurements improves model accuracy.

The paper develops a dynamic model for carbon and nitrogen cycle interactions in terrestrial ecosystems, demonstrating its stability and functionality for simulating seasonal variations of C and N fluxes and pools.
