Seventeen global models of terrestrial biogeochemistry were compared with respect to
annual and seasonal fluxes of net primary productivity (NPP) for the land biosphere. The …

Vegetation light use efficiency is a key physiological parameter at the canopy scale, and at
the daily time step is a component of remote sensing algorithms for scaling gross primary …

Gross primary production (GPP) is one of the most important characteristics of an ecosystem.
At present, no empirically based method to estimate GPP is available, other than …

Aim Extrapolation of tower CO2 fluxes will be greatly facilitated if robust relationships
between flux components and remotely sensed factors are established. Long‐term …

We design a Bayesian inversion method (gradient‐based) to optimize the key functioning
parameters of a process‐driven land surface model (ORganizing Carbon and Hydrology In …

In this paper, a model for hydrological equilibrium of leaf area index (LAI) is presented. The
central assumption is that adaptation of vegetation to the local climate leads to a …

We used daily MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) imagery obtained
over a five-year period to analyze the seasonal and inter-annual variability of the fraction of …

The regional-scale carbon budget of East Asia was evaluated using a process-based model
of terrestrial carbon cycle driven by high-resolution input data. The model was developed for …

In some regions of the Amazon, global biogeophysical models have difficulties in
reproducing measured seasonal patterns of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of carbon …

The influence of agricultural management on the CO 2 budget of a typical subalpine
grassland was investigated at the Swiss CARBOMONT site at Rigi-Seebodenalp (1025 m …
