Climate change, phenology, and phenological control of vegetation feedbacks to the climate system

AD Richardson, TF Keenan, M Migliavacca… - Agricultural and Forest …, 2013 - Elsevier
Vegetation phenology is highly sensitive to climate change. Phenology also controls many
feedbacks of vegetation to the climate system by influencing the seasonality of albedo …

Correcting eddy-covariance flux underestimates over a grassland

TE Twine, WP Kustas, JM Norman, DR Cook… - Agricultural and forest …, 2000 - Elsevier
Independent measurements of the major energy balance flux components are not often

Reflections on the surface energy imbalance problem

R Leuning, E van Gorsel, WJ Massman… - Agricultural and Forest …, 2012 - Elsevier
The 'energy imbalance problem'in micrometeorology arises because at most flux
measurement sites the sum of eddy fluxes of sensible and latent heat (H+ λE) is less than …

Advantages of diffuse radiation for terrestrial ecosystem productivity

L Gu, D Baldocchi, SB Verma, TA Black… - Journal of …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Clouds and aerosols alter the proportion of diffuse radiation in global solar radiation
reaching the Earth's surface. It is known that diffuse and direct beam radiation differ in the …

How plant functional-type, weather, seasonal drought, and soil physical properties alter water and energy fluxes of an oak–grass savanna and an annual grassland

DD Baldocchi, L Xu, N Kiang - Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2004 - Elsevier
Savannas and open grasslands often co-exist in semi-arid regions. Questions that remain
unanswered and are of interest to biometeorologists include: how do these contrasting …

Joint optimization of land carbon uptake and albedo can help achieve moderate instantaneous and long-term cooling effects

A Graf, G Wohlfahrt, S Aranda-Barranco… - … Earth & Environment, 2023 - nature.com

Inter-annual variability in the leaf area index of a boreal aspen-hazelnut forest in relation to net ecosystem production

AG Barr, TA Black, EH Hogg, N Kljun… - Agricultural and forest …, 2004 - Elsevier
