Forecasting Sunflower Grain Yield by Assimilating Leaf Area Index into a Crop Model [PDF]
Forecasting sunflower grain yield a few weeks before crop harvesting is of strategic interest for cooperatives that collect and store grains. With such information, they can optimize their logistics and thus reduce the financial and environmental costs of grain storage. To provide these predictions, data assimilation approaches involving the crop model

Assessments of CO2 Assimilation on a Per-leaf-area Basis are Related to Total Leaf Area [PDF]
Net photosynthetic rates often are dependent on leaf size when expressed on a leaf-area basis (CO 2 assimilation as μmol·m −2 ·s −1 ).

Methods for accurately estimating within-field yield are essential to improve site-specific crop management and resource use efficiencies, which would be a major step toward sustainable intensification of agricultural systems. We set out to assess the accuracy of within-field soybean yields predicted by two data assimilation methods and to assess these

The Joint Assimilation of Remotely Sensed Leaf Area Index and Surface Soil Moisture into a Land Surface Model [PDF]
This work tests the hypothesis that jointly assimilating satellite observations of leaf area index and surface soil moisture into a land surface model improves the estimation of land vegetation and water variables. An Ensemble Kalman Filter is used to test this hypothesis across the Contiguous United States from April 2015 to December 2018.

The influence of assimilating leaf area index in a land surface model on global water fluxes and storages [PDF]
Abstract. Vegetation plays a fundamental role not only in the energy and carbon cycles but also in the global water balance by controlling surface evapotranspiration (ET). Thus, accurately estimating vegetation-related variables has the potential to improve our understanding and estimation of the dynamic interactions between the water, energy, and ...

Comparison of Different Sequential Assimilation Algorithms for Satellite-derived Leaf Area Index Using the Data Assimilation Research Testbed (lanai) [PDF]
Abstract. The leaf area index (LAI) is a crucial parameter for understanding the exchanges of momentum, carbon, energy, and water between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. To improve the ability to simulate land surface water and energy balances, the Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART) has been successfully coupled to the Community Land ...

Assimilation of global MODIS leaf area index retrievals within a terrestrial biosphere model [PDF]
We investigate the capability of global leaf area index (LAI) retrievals from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) to be assimilated within a process‐oriented biosphere model in order to constrain the distribution of carbon fluxes.
