The mass loss time series in our data set were better or equivalently fit to 2-3 parameter models compared to the usual 1 parameter negative exponential model that generates k. There's a lot of time-varying breakdown rates to explore and analyze in nature!

Time series showing A) Lagging, B) Constant, and C) Leading decomposition trajectories, with common analytical decomposition model fits to each time series. Panel D) shows the Weibull model fit for every time series in the data set. Negative exponential (constant decay) is equivalent to the Weibull fit when Weibull alpha = 1.

Litter decomposition in streams is usually studied by calculating a breakdown rate, k, which assumes that the rate is constant through time - ever wondered how generally that assumption holds? Just accepted in L&O Letters: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

What can we learn from 100,000 freshwater forecasts? A synthesis from the NEON Ecological Forecasting Challenge Near-term, iterative ecological forecasts can be used to help understand and proactively manage ecosystems. To date, more forecasts have been developed for aquatic ecosystems than other ecosystems wo...

So exciting to see @freyaolsson.bsky.social's forecast synthesis paper officially published today!

Does polymixis complicate prediction of high‐frequency dissolved oxygen in lakes and reservoirs? As lake and reservoir ecosystems transition across major environmental regimes (e.g., mixing regime) resulting from anthropogenic change, setting predictive expectations is imperative. We tested the ...
