The role of evapotranspiration (ET) in the global, continental, regional, and local water
cycles is reviewed. Elevated atmospheric CO2, air temperature, vapor pressure deficit (D) …

This paper reviews measurement techniques and corresponding devices used to determine
the physical properties of the seasonal snowpack from distances close to the ground …

Abstract Changes in vegetation structure are expected to influence the redistribution of heat
and moisture; however, how variations in the leaf area index (LAI) affect this global energy …

Recently, five Global LAnd Surface Satellite (GLASS) products have been released: leaf
area index (LAI), shortwave broadband albedo, longwave broadband emissivity, incident …

AmeriFlux scientists were early adopters of a network-enabled approach to ecosystem
science that continues to transform the study of land-atmosphere interactions. In the 20 …

Independent measurements of the major energy balance flux components are not often
consistent with the principle of conservation of energy. This is referred to as a lack of closure …

Land surface broadband albedo is a critical variable for many scientific applications. High-
resolution narrowband satellite observations contain important information that enables us …

Twenty years have passed since the first German-language edition of this book was
published. Subsequently, parallel German-and English-language editions were produced in …

The objective of this research was to compare seasonal and annual estimates of CO2 and
water vapor exchange across sites in forests, grasslands, crops, and tundra that are part of …

Aim We present the first global synthesis of plant canopy leaf area index (LAI)
measurements from more than 1000 published estimates representing∼ 400 unique field …
