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
