Food Web Similarity Increases With Productivity Similarity at a Continental Scale Here, we test how plant productivity and anthropogenic fragmentation predict the pairwise similarity of food web networks within and among regions for 127 protected areas spanning deserts to rainfore...

Excited to be part of this collaborative effort tackling a longstanding question: how does productivity shape community assembly from simple species co-occurrence to complex trophic interactions? Check out what we discover!

Variational Autoencoders Identify Extreme Plant Productivity

Researchers used variational autoencoders to detect US plant productivity drops, with a 5th‑percentile error threshold; VAE severity 179‑756 GgC versus SSA’s 100‑784 GgC. getnews.me/variational-autoencoders... #variationalautoencoders #plantproductivity

🌿 Last year’s rainfall can shape this year’s plant growth! Accounting for these lagged effects improves predictions of productivity, C storage & ecosystem responses to climate change.
