What we can observe at the small scale (from experiments, forest inventories, flux measurements, etc.) determines what is happening at the global scale. By addressing allocation from all angles, and by systematically integrating models and observational data, MIND targets a better understanding of the controls on allocation and improves our predictive ability to simulate general patterns in allocation and its response to shifting in resource limitations and how this affects ecoystem dynamics and the terrestrial carbon balance.

We will use the Global Change Manipulation Experiments database (under development, collaboration with [Dr. Sara Vicca, PLECO, University of Antwerp](https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/staff/sara-vicca/)) and explore the observational constraints on alternative model formulations for simulating coupled carbon and nitrogen dynamics in terrestrial ecoystems. This work will make important advances on several fronts: Generating fundamental insights into ecosystem dynamics and biogeochemical cycles, exploring new territory in model-data fusion on the basis of observations from manipulation experiments, and developing a reusable and scalable model testbed as the basis of future community-driven model intercomparisons.

How does climate change alter forest dynamics and what are implications for the global carbon cycle and local ecosystem services? Increasing CO2, trends in nutrient inputs from atmospheric deposition, extending growing seasons and changing drought patterns affect tree growth and forest biomass in myriad ways. One of the open key questions is whether stimulated growth in a high-CO2 world is compensated by an accelerated tree life cycle and higher mortality.

Ecosystem-level photosynthesis (gross primary production: GPP) can be predicted using remotely sensed information on vegetation cover, local measurements of solar radiation and relatively simple models for the efficiency of photosynthesis (Ryu et al., 2019; Stocker et al., 2019). But one aspect of model-data mismatch stands out: The early-season increase in GPP is typically simulated to be around a month too early at some sites but not at others (Fig. 1). It will be your challenge to find out why and how to resolve this model deficiency.

Die Kohlenstoffaufnahme von Wäldern in unseren Breiten ist stark an die saisonalen Schwankungen von Sonnenlicht und die Phänologie gekoppelt. Sobald im Frühling die Sonneneinstrahlung zunimmt und Blätter ausgetrieben werden, nimmt die Aufnahme von CO2 durch die Photosynthese rasch zu. Wir konnten zeigen, dass diese Zunahme an verschiedenen Standorten stark verzögert ist. Trotz rasch ansteigender Sonneneinstrahlung und grüner Vegetation, verzögert sich der saisonale Anstieg der CO2-Aufnahme an bestimmten Standorten um mehrere Wochen. Wir fanden heraus, dass diese Verzögerungen damit zu tun haben, dass an diesen Standorten Spätfrost besonders häufig auftritt – in Nordamerika und Regionen mit kontinentalem Klima, weniger aber in Regionen mit temperiertem, maritimem Klima, z.B. in Nordwesteuropa. Tiefe Temperaturen und hohe Sonneneinstrahlung kann für die Blattphysiologie schädlich sein. Die verzögerte Re-aktivierung der Photosynthese an diesen Standorten ist wahrscheinlich eine Anpassung zur Vermeidung von schädlichen meteorologischen Bedingungen.

Unterschieden sind (b) Daten von 14 Standorten, an welchen eine verspätete Zunahme der Photosynthese in Vergleich des zu erwartenden Flusses (rot) beobachtet wird (Beobachtungen schwarz). In (a) ist die mittlere jährliche Schwankung an 13 Standorten gezeigt, wo dieses Phänomen nicht auftritt.*
