The paper evaluates 27 forest cover datasets to identify differences in their estimates of forest extent and change, highlighting the importance of careful dataset selection.

The paper analyzes phenological dynamics across four decades and 10 tree species to show that spring and autumn phenology asymmetrically control growing season length, with spring driving interannual variation and autumn influencing long-term trends.

The paper introduces the pnetr R package, which simplifies the use of PnET ecosystem models for ecological research and forecasting.

This study quantifies the carbon loss from hurricanes in New England forests, showing that a single storm can emit 10+ years of annual carbon sequestration.
