Do we (need to) care about canopy radiation schemes in DGVMs? Caveats and potential impacts [PDF]
, 2014 Dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) are an essential part of current state-of-the-art Earth system models. In recent years, the complexity of DGVMs has increased by incorporating new important processes like, e.g., nutrient cycling and land cover ...

Consistent assimilation of MERIS FAPAR and atmospheric CO2 into a terrestrial vegetation model and interactive mission benefit analysis [PDF]
, 2012 The terrestrial biosphere is currently a strong sink for anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Through the radiative properties of CO2, the strength of this sink has a direct influence on the radiative budget of the global climate system.

Fluorescence Quantum Efficiency Data for Europe 2018–2025
Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.We present a new dataset of fluorescence quantum efficiency (ΦF) across Europe and northern Africa (2018–2025). Derived from TROPOMI SIF and MODIS PAR at 0.05° resolution, the dataset provides daily, decadal and monthly coverage. The dataset includes input bands and quality layers, enabling applications in vegetation stress monitoring and drought ...
