ABSTRACT
This practice session aims to learn how to use EcoPAD for ecological forecasting at the SPRUCE experiment. The web portal of EcoPAD-SPRUCE provides automated ecological forecasting at a weekly time scale. Using CarboTrain, a training version of EcoPAD, this practice illustrates how constrained posterior parameters influence forecast uncertainty, how different forcings influence forecast uncertainty, and investigates the responses of ecosystem forecast to warming and elevated CO2 with fully specified uncertainties.
