Retrieval of Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Soil Water Content (WC) Using Hyperspectral Remote Sensing under Controlled Glass House Conditions for Spring Barley and Sugar Beet [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Leaf area index (LAI) and water content (WC) in the root zone are two major hydro-meteorological parameters that exhibit a dominant control on water, energy and carbon fluxes, and are therefore important for any regional eco-hydrological or ...

Climatic anomaly and its impact on vegetation phenology, carbon sequestration and water-use efficiency at a humid temperate forest

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology, 2018
Abstract Changing climate, especially extreme weather event, is exerting considerable impacts on the hydrological and biogeochemical processes in forests worldwide. A deep understanding of climate change–terrestrial feedbacks is essential to predict future regional/global carbon and water budgets, which can be used to develop potential strategies for

Contributions of Climate Change, Vegetation Growth, and Elevated Atmospheric CO2 Concentration to Variation in Water Use Efficiency in Subtropical China

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Ecosystem water use efficiency (WUE) plays an important role in maintaining the carbon assimilation–water transpiration balance in ecosystems. However, spatiotemporal changes in WUE in the subtropical region of China (STC) and the impact of driving ...

Enhanced Australian carbon sink despite increased wildfire during the 21st century

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2014
Climate projections show Australia becoming significantly warmer during the 21st century, and precipitation decreasing over much of the continent. Such changes are conventionally considered to increase wildfire risk. Nevertheless, we show that burnt area

Empirical vs. light-use efficiency modelling for estimating carbon fluxes in a mid-succession ecosystem developed on abandoned karst grassland.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Karst systems represent an important carbon sink worldwide. However, several phenomena such as the CO2 degassing and the exchange of cave air return a considerable amount of CO2 to the atmosphere. It is therefore of paramount importance to understand the

Effects of Vegetation Phenology on Ecosystem Water Use Efficiency in a Semiarid Region of Northern China

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Water use efficiency (WUE) is an important ecosystem functional property for measuring coupled relationships of the carbon-water cycle. Both biotic and environmental factors significantly impact WUE in terrestrial ecosystems.

Upside-down fluxes Down Under: CO2 net sink in winter and net source in summer in a temperate evergreen broadleaf forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Predicting the seasonal dynamics of ecosystem carbon fluxes is challenging in broadleaved evergreen forests because of their moderate climates and subtle changes in canopy phenology.

Increased precipitation has not enhanced the carbon sequestration of afforestation in Northwest China

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Concerns have been raised about the sustainability of large-scale afforestation in semi-arid regions due to potential water constraints. This study investigated whether increased humidity in the semi-arid regions of northwest China could sustain the ...

Dominant Impacting Factors on Water-Use Efficiency Variation in Inner Mongolia from 2001 to 2018: Vegetation or Climate?

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Water-use efficiency (WUE) is not only an important indicator to connect the carbon and water cycles of a terrestrial ecosystem, but also a key parameter for an ecosystem to respond to climate change.

Forest Net Primary Production Resistance Across a Gradient of Moderate Disturbance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The global carbon (C) balance is vulnerable to disturbances that alter terrestrial C uptake and loss. Moderate disturbances that kill or defoliate only a subset of canopy trees such as insect defoliation, drought, and age-related senescence are ...
