Connecting dynamic vegetation models to data - an inverse perspective

open access: yes, 2012
Dynamic vegetation models provide process-based explanations of the dynamics and the distribution of plant ecosystems. They offer significant advantages over static, correlative modelling approaches, particularly for ecosystems that are outside their ...

Evaluating Remote Sensing Metrics for Land Surface Phenology in Peatlands

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Vegetation phenology is an important indicator of climate change and ecosystem productivity. However, the monitoring of vegetation generative phenology through remote sensing techniques does not allow for species-specific retrieval in mixed ecosystems ...

Validating satellite-derived vegetation phenology products

open access: yes, 2013
The phenology of terrestrial vegetation, i.e., the timing of events such as bud burst, leaf development, and senescence, plays an important role in the global climate system, biogeochemical cycles, and energy budget.

Cybianthus anthuriophyllus (Primulaceae), a new record for the flora of Colombia: distribution modeling and conservation assessment

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Cybianthus anthuriophyllus (Primulaceae) was previously known from eastern Ecuador and northern Peru. Here we document the first confirmed occurrences of this species in Colombia and develop a distribution model based on collections from the Andean–Amazonian foothills of Caquetá, Cauca, and Putumayo departments, in order to clarify its conservation ...
