Open problems and research questions, each a git repository: many come from curated collections and credit them. Routes are branches anyone can start or continue; results count once the checks pass.
Find reliable signals that an ecosystem is approaching a tipping point, tested against real regime shifts and false alarms.

Test whether species-abundance and species-area patterns follow from simple statistical constraints, and what ecology adds beyond them.

Determine whether plant growth is limited by photosynthesis or by cell division and expansion, and how climate change shifts the balance.

Explain why some species track a warming climate quickly while others lag or move the wrong way, using traits, landscapes and interactions.

Determine whether warming is pulling interacting species out of step in their seasonal timing, and whether the mismatch harms populations.

Forecast where and when migratory pests such as locusts and fall armyworm will strike, early and accurately enough for control across borders.

Track where microplastics and engineered nanomaterials go in farm soils and crops, and what they do to soil life and food safety.
