Quantifying global terrestrial photosynthesis is essential to understanding the global carbon
cycle and the climate system. Remote sensing has played a pivotal role in advancing our …

Plants and vegetation play a critical—but largely unpredictable—role in global
environmental changes due to the multitude of contributing processes at widely different …

Theory predicts and evidence shows that plant species that use the C4 photosynthetic
pathway (C4 species) are less responsive to elevated carbon dioxide (e CO2) than species …

To improve climate resilience for extreme fire events, researchers need to translate
modelling uncertainties into useful guidance and be wary of overconfidence. If Earth system …

Abstract Knowledge about spatiotemporal error characteristics of remotely sensed soil
moisture (SM) products is essential for correctly interpreting observational information and …

Many satellite missions rely on modeling approaches to acquire global or regional
evapotranspiration (ET) products. However, a current challenge in ET modeling lies in …

Large‐scale photovoltaic solar farms envisioned over the Sahara desert can meet the
world's energy demand while increasing regional rainfall and vegetation cover. However …

Per capita intake of animal protein is expected to increase globally through 2050, and the
rate of increase will be more in develo** or emerging economies than in developed …

Global climate models play an important role in quantifying past and projecting future
changes in drought. Previous studies have pointed to shortcomings in these models for …

Seasonal foliage display (leaf phenology) is a key determinant of ecosystem function.
Variation in land surface phenology, observed via space‐borne remote sensing, can be …
