Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 17, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Accurately predicting terrestrial ecosystem responses to climate change over long‐timescales is crucial for addressing global challenges. This relies on mechanistic modeling of ecosystem processes through land surface models (LSMs). Despite their importance, LSMs face significant uncertainties due to poorly constrained parameters, especially ...

Quantifying the missing link between forest albedo and productivity in the boreal zone [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2016 Albedo and fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR) determine the shortwave radiation balance and productivity of forests. Currently, the physical link between forest albedo and productivity is poorly understood, yet it is crucial

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.Abstract Occurring in 2015/16, the strong El Niño has been shown to significantly influence the pantropical carbon fluxes with multiple lines of evidence. However, a comprehensive understanding on the regional and vegetation‐specific net ecosystem productivity (NEP) in response to this El Niño event and its recovery trajectories remain unclear.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, Page 1473-1488, July 2025.Abstract Vegetation phenology studies the periodic recurrence of plant life‐cycle events and is essential for understanding ecosystem responses to environmental changes. Remote sensing has become a key tool for monitoring phenological events on large spatial and temporal scales, primarily using vegetation indices like the Normalized Difference ...

Continental Scale Soil Monitoring: A Proposed Multi‐Scale Framing of Soil Quality
European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 4, July–August 2025.ABSTRACT Globally, soils are subjected to various management practices and stressors which can lead to degradation. This makes their protection essential for sustaining many functions and services as well as maintaining the overall life support system of Earth.

Addressing Challenges in Simulating Inter–Annual Variability of Gross Primary Production
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2025.Abstract A long‐standing challenge in studying the global carbon cycle has been understanding the factors controlling inter–annual variation (IAV) of carbon fluxes, and improving their representations in existing biogeochemical models. Here, we compared an optimality‐based model and a semi‐empirical light use efficiency model to understand how current ...
