In our new preprint, “Inferring processes within dynamic forest models using hybrid modeling” @ykaber.bsky.social and I present a new hybrid modeling approach for jointly calibrating a DVM with embedded #deepneuralnetwork arxiv.org/abs/2508.01228 1/4

INVITED COMMENTARY

The 10 plant traits and their ecological function and literature describing them. Survival rates would increase with traits related to conservative strategy but decrease with traits related to acquisitive strategy, according to the one-dimensional plant economics spectrum and the growth–mortality trade-off theory. See Supplementary Table S3 for trait abbreviations.
Zhen-Yu Wang et al. explored relationships between functional traits and survival mediated by tree size in subtropical forests. The results showed that leaf and root traits have inconsistent effects on tree survival.

New in #PNAS, temp-driven increased seed production in European beech caused 28% reduction in annual tree ring increments since 2005. Important for European forests and good example using long-term data (43 yr) of how past does not predict future #forestdynamics.

Early overyielding in a mixed deciduous forest is driven by both above- and below ground species-specific acclimation
🌿Join us to learn about the newly published paper ‘Early overyielding in a mixed deciduous forest is driven by both above- and below ground species-specific acclimation’ in @annbot.bsky.social by Ramona Werner and co-authors. 🧵 (1/8)

#AoBpapers #ForestDynamics
Walking through the forests in the Asiago plateau hit by Vaia last October. The large surfaces blown down were the ones that made to the news but the storm also created many irregular, small openings within stands. Looking forward to see whats’up here in 20 yrs #forestdynamics
