Light use efficiency (LUE) models have been widely used to estimate terrestrial gross
primary production (GPP) at local, regional, and global scales, which is vital for …

Seventeen global models of terrestrial biogeochemistry were compared with respect to
annual and seasonal fluxes of net primary productivity (NPP) for the land biosphere. The …

Global mean temperature is predicted to increase by 2–7° C and precipitation to change
across the globe by the end of this century. To quantify climate effects on ecosystem …

What is addressed as growing season in terrestrial ecosystems is one of the main
determinants of annual plant biomass production globally. However, there is no well …

Earth's vegetation plays a pivotal role in the global water balance. Hence, there is a need to
model dynamic interactions and feedbacks between the terrestrial biosphere and the water …

Probably the single most fundamental measure of" global change" of highest practical
interest to humankind is the change in terrestrial biological productivity. Biological …

Information on net primary production in tropical forests is needed for the development of
realistic global carbon budgets, for projecting how these ecosystems will be affected by …

Mineral stabilization of soil organic matter is an important regulator of the global carbon (C)
cycle. However, the vulnerability of mineral-stabilized organic matter (OM) to climate change …

Partitioning of solar energy at the Earth surface has significant implications in climate
dynamics, hydrology, and ecology. Consequently, spatial map** of energy partitioning …

Fluxes of carbon dioxide, water and energy between a temperate deciduous forest and the
atmosphere were quantified across time scales of hours, days, seasons, years and decades …
