Quantifying ecosystem degradation via energetic deficits

The paper quantifies ecosystem degradation by calculating energetic and monetary deficits needed for regeneration, showing nonlinear relationships and significant economic costs in African savannas.

Energetic constraints shape the diversity of feasible ecological networks

This paper develops a geometric framework to show how energetic constraints shape ecological network diversity, revealing a unimodal relationship between energy supply and biodiversity.

From species-area relationships to biodiversity risk assessment

The paper develops a method to estimate biodiversity risk metrics from species-area relationships using empirical data from forest censuses.

On the energetic boundaries of trophic systems

The paper develops a thermodynamic framework to determine the energetic boundaries of trophic systems and shows how these boundaries limit food-chain length.

Linking power, efficiency, and bifurcations in consumer-resource systems

The paper links power, efficiency, and bifurcations in consumer-resource systems using mathematical models and shows how ecological principles can be formalized and tested.

A general allometric rule predicts sustainable growth across societies

The paper derives a general sustainability rule using allometric scaling laws and tests it against ethnographic data from hunter-gatherer societies, finding consistent alignment with predicted sustainability corridors.

Predicting microbiome compositions from species assemblages through deep learning.

The paper introduces a deep learning framework to predict microbial community compositions from species assemblages using synthetic and experimental data.
