Simultaneous assimilation of satellite and eddy covariance data for improving terrestrial water and carbon simulations at a semi-arid woodland site in Botswana [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 Terrestrial productivity in semi-arid woodlands is strongly susceptible to changes in precipitation, and semi-arid woodlands constitute an important element of the global water and carbon cycles.

Remote SensingThe homogeneous turbid medium assumption inherent to the Beer-Lambert’s law can lead to a reduction in the shading effect between leaves when non-green vegetation canopies are present, resulting in an overestimation of the fraction of absorbed ...

Future Projections of Burned Area in Europe Highlight the Importance of Human Action
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.Our simulations with two fire models and the LPJmL Dynamic Global Vegetation Model show that both biophysical and socio‐economic drivers shape future wildfire activity in Europe. Fire weather and fire management capacity dominate broad trends, while changes in land use, vegetation and population density shape regional patterns. Improved fire management

Adaptation and Response in Drylands: A Dryland Research Agenda and Campaign Strategy
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.The Adaptation and Response in Drylands (ARID) campaign was selected by NASA as a scoping study to develop a research agenda for a dryland field campaign. Here, we detail our ARID science research agenda and implementation plan that were developed based on an extensive community engagement effort in over 160 events with over a thousand scientists, land

Inter–Annual Variability of Model Parameters Improves Simulation of Annual Gross Primary Production
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Parametric uncertainty can hinder land surface models (LSM) from accurately simulating carbon fluxes, such as gross primary production (GPP). These models generally cannot capture inter–annual variability (IAV) of fluxes well due to missing processes, and temporally varying parameters can partially alleviate this limitation.
