Terrestrial gross primary production: Using NIRV to scale from site to globe

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, 2019
Terrestrial photosynthesis is the largest and one of the most uncertain fluxes in the global carbon cycle. We find that near‐infrared reflectance of vegetation (NIRV), a remotely sensed measure of canopy structure, accurately predicts photosynthesis at ...

Complex Receptive Fields in Primary Visual Cortex [PDF]

open access: yesThe Neuroscientist, 2003
In the early 1960s, Hubel and Wiesel reported the first physiological description of cells in cat primary visual cortex. They distinguished two main cell types: simple cells and complex cells. Based on their distinct response properties, they suggested that the two cell types could represent two consecutive stages in receptive-field construction ...
