Terrestrial ecosystems play an important role in carbon, water, and nitrogen cycling. Process‐based ecosystem models, including PnET‐CN, have been widely used to simulate processes during the last two decades. PnET‐CN is a forest model, originally designed predict dynamics of temperate forests under variety circumstances. Among terrestrial offers unique benefits, simplicity transparency its structure, reliance on data‐driven parameterization rather than calibration, use generalizeable...

New England forests provide numerous benefits to the region’s residents, but are undergoing rapid development. We used boosted regression tree analysis (BRT) assess geographic predictors of forest loss development between 2001 and 2011. BRT combines classification trees with machine learning generate non-parametric statistical models that can capture non-linear relationships. Based on National Land Cover Database (NLCD) maps land cover change, we assessed importance biophysical social...
• Premise of the study: Xylem sectoriality limits nutrient translocation throughout plant, which may constrain growth following partial defoliation by herbivores. To date, implications for allocation have not been assessed, and studies lack a modeling framework relating intersector transport to hydraulic properties stem. Methods: We present an Ohm's law model xylem in basil ( Ocimum basilicum ), we parameterized tested using hydroponically grown split‐root basil, pruned two branches....
Root conductance increases under high nitrate conditions. This plasticity might increase water and nutrient transport between parallel xylem pathways, but restrictions to lateral flow – called sectoriality are expected limit this crossover. We simulated the effects of a patch on root conductance, uptake inter-sector transport, then empirically tested whether affects nitrogen distribution (applied 15N as 14NH415NO3 half system) within crowns split-root hydroponic basil (Ocimum basilicum L.)....
