There are a number of methods that can be used to help assess carbon budgets at the site
to continental scales. Eddy covariance (EC) networks have been developed over the last …

Abstract The Integrated Carbon Observation System Research Infrastructure aims to provide
long-term, continuous observations of sources and sinks of greenhouse gases such as …

Crop monitoring information is essential for food security and to improve our understanding
of the role of agriculture on climate change, among others. Remotely sensing optical and …

The energy balance at most surface-atmosphere flux research sites remains unclosed. The
mechanisms underlying the discrepancy between measured energy inputs and outputs …

The greenhouse gas budgets of 15 European crop sites covering a large climatic gradient
and corresponding to 41 site-years were estimated. The sites included a wide range of …

Interactions between the biosphere and the atmosphere can be well characterized by fluxes
between the two. In particular, carbon and energy fluxes play a major role in understanding …

The eddy covariance is a powerful technique to estimate the surface-atmosphere exchange
of different scalars at the ecosystem scale. The EC method is central to the ecosystem …

Plants acquire carbon through photosynthesis to sustain biomass production, autotrophic
respiration and production of non-structural compounds for multiple purposes. The fraction …

Arable land occupies large areas of global land surface and hence plays an important role
in the terrestrial carbon cycle. Therefore agro-ecosystems show a high potential of mitigating …

Accurately map** of regional-scale evapotranspiration (ET) from the croplands using
remote sensing is currently challenged by limited spatial information on crop and field …
