Detection of plant water stress by remote sensing has been proposed using indices of Near-
Infrared (NIR, 0.7–1.3 μm) and Middle-Infrared (MIR, 1.3–2.5 μm) wavelengths. The first …

Evapotranspiration is a major component of the global water cycle and provides a critical
nexus between terrestrial water, carbon and surface energy exchanges. Evapotranspiration …

This paper reviews methods for estimating evaporation from landscapes, regions and larger
geographic extents, with remotely sensed surface temperatures, and highlights uncertainties …

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 …
