Summary and Conclusions1. Fluxes and stocks can be constrained from MODISLAI2. <strong>Global</strong> implementation of DALEC with ecological anddynamic constraints: GPP, AGB and SOM totalsencouraging, GPP and AGB spatially resolve keybiomes.3. Parameter estimation indicates in<strong>for</strong>mation content ofassimilated data4. Non-steady state solutions, emergent PFTs5. NEXT: Integrate AGB maps and fluorescence aspriors; include parameter correlations from TRYdatabase6. Observing System Simulation Experiments canquantify in<strong>for</strong>mation content of EO concepts
