Remote sensing (RS)-based models play an important role in estimating and monitoring
terrestrial ecosystem gross primary productivity (GPP). Several RS-based GPP models have …

Wildfires are becoming an increasing threat to many communities worldwide. There has
been substantial progress towards understanding the proximal causes of increased fire …

Accurately estimating vegetation productivity is important in research on terrestrial
ecosystems, carbon cycles and climate change. Eight-day gross primary production (GPP) …

The area of leaves in the plant canopy, measured as leaf area index (LAI), modulates key
land–atmosphere interactions, including the exchange of energy, moisture, carbon dioxide …

As interest grows in quantification of global carbon cycles, process model predictions of
forest biomass and net primary production (NPP) are being developed at an accelerating …

Understanding vegetation dynamics and their responses to climate change are essential to
enhance the carbon sequestration of the terrestrial ecosystem under global warming …

The “Kökyar Greening Project” in the suburb of Aksu, Xinjiang, is a model of large-area
artificial afforestation in an environment of drought and water scarcity. As an important part of …

Light use efficiency (LUE), which characterizes the efficiency with which vegetation converts
captured/absorbed radiation into organic dry matter through photosynthesis, is a key …

Evapotranspiration (ET) is arguably the most uncertain ecohydrologic variable for
quantifying watershed water budgets. Although numerous ET and hydrological models exist …

Aim To quantify the role of soil fertility in the spatial variability of fire activity and to identify the
mechanisms that drive this variability. Location The five Mediterranean‐type climate regions …
