This review surveys the basic theories, observational methods, satellite algorithms, and land
surface models for terrestrial evapotranspiration, E (or λE, ie, latent heat flux), including a …

Global hydrology has come a long way since the first introduction of the primitive land
surface model of Manabe (1969) and the declaration of the “Emergence of Global …

The ratio of carbon assimilation to water evapotranspiration (ET) of an ecosystem, referred to
as ecosystem water use efficiency (WUEeco), is widely expected to increase because of the …

Abstract Earth System Models (ESMs) are essential tools for understanding and predicting
global change, but they cannot explicitly resolve hillslope‐scale terrain structures that …

Evaporation (E) and transpiration (T) respond differently to ongoing changes in climate,
atmospheric composition, and land use. It is difficult to partition ecosystem-scale …

Phenology, by controlling the seasonal activity of vegetation on the land surface, plays a
fundamental role in regulating photosynthesis and other ecosystem processes, as well as …

In evergreen tropical forests, the extent, magnitude, and controls on photosynthetic
seasonality are poorly resolved and inadequately represented in Earth system models …

We show that the vegetation canopy of the Amazon rainforest is highly sensitive to changes
in precipitation patterns and that reduction in rainfall since 2000 has diminished vegetation …

The authors assess the ability of 18 Earth system models to simulate the land and ocean
carbon cycle for the present climate. These models will be used in the next …

We investigated the seasonal patterns of Amazonian forest photosynthetic activity, and the
effects thereon of variations in climate and land-use, by integrating data from a network of …
