Parameter Estimation in Land Surface Models: Challenges and Opportunities With Data Assimilation and Machine Learning

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Delayed Pantropical Carbon Sink Recovery Due To Asynchronous Post‐El Niño Photosynthesis and Respiration Trajectories

open access: yesGeophysical 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.

Estimating Forest fAPAR from Multispectral Landsat-8 Data Using the Invertible Forest Reflectance Model INFORM

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2015
The estimation of the Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation in forests (forest fAPAR) from multi-spectral Landsat-8 data is investigated in this paper using a physically based radiative transfer model (Invertible Forest Reflectance ...

Global Assessment of Environmental and Plant‐Trait Influences on Root: Shoot Biomass Ratios

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
We assembled a large global dataset by combining several previous compilations to test eco‐evolutionary optimality (EEO) hypotheses about how plants allocate carbon above‐ and below‐ground (root: shoot biomass ratios). Our analysis shows how carbon allocation in woody and herbaceous plants responds to environmental conditions and plant traits.

Assessment of Satellite-Derived FAPAR Products With Different Spatial Resolutions for Gross Primary Productivity Estimation

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Accurate estimation of gross primary productivity (GPP) is crucial for understanding terrestrial carbon cycles and assessing ecosystem health. Light use efficiency (LUE) models, which are widely used for the generation of regional or global GPP products,

Bridging the gap between remotely sensed phenology and the underlying ecophysiological processes: The SWELL model

open access: yesMethods 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 ...
