Abstract

Building models to predict ecosystem responses to future rainfall changes requires closely matching model complexity to data availability. A new study by Paschalis et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020) examines opportunities to improve both data availability and model structure in 10 state‐of‐the‐art terrestrial biosphere models.This is a Commentary on Paschalis et al. 26, 3336–3355
