Toward a Mechanistic Modeling of Nitrogen Limitation on Vegetation Dynamics
Nitrogen is a dominant regulator of vegetation dynamics, net primary production, and terrestrial carbon cycles; however, most ecosystem models use a rather simplistic relationship between leaf nitrogen content and photosynthetic capacity. Such an approach does not consider how patterns of nitrogen allocation may change with differences in light intensity, growing-season temperature and CO(2) co...
متن کاملThe effect of meteorological drought on vegetation dynamics in Iran
Drought as a complex ecosystem crisis can affect vegetation density and health. Iran with an arid and semi-arid climate is exposed to this phenomenon. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the effect of drought on vegetation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of meteorological drought on vegetation dynamics in Iran. In this regard, using MATLAB software, SPEI index with time ...
متن کاملVegetation-hydrology dynamics in complex terrain of semiarid areas: 1. A mechanistic approach to modeling dynamic feedbacks
[1] Vegetation, particularly its dynamics, is the often-ignored linchpin of the land-surface hydrology. This work emphasizes the coupled nature of vegetation-water-energy dynamics by considering linkages at timescales that vary from hourly to interannual. A series of two papers is presented. A dynamic ecohydrological model [tRIBS + VEGGIE] is described in this paper. It reproduces essential wat...
متن کاملA mechanistic approach for modeling temperature-dependent consumer-resource dynamics.
Paramount to our ability to manage and protect biological communities from impending changes in the environment is an understanding of how communities will respond. General mathematical models of community dynamics are often too simplistic to accurately describe this response, partly to retain mathematical tractability and partly for the lack of biologically pleasing functions representing the ...
متن کاملNitrogen limitation in a Sonoran Desert stream
Four nutrient enrichment bioassay experiments were conducted in Sycamore Creek, Arizona, during summer and autumn 1983. In two experiments, nitrogen and phosphorus were added alone and in combination while in the other experiments nitrogen was added singly. In experiments involving enrichment of both nutrient-diffusing substrates (clay flowerpots) and streamwater overlying tileigravel artificia...
