Journal ArticleDOI
Land clearing, climate variability, and water resources increase in semiarid southwest Niger: A review
Guillaume Favreau,B. Cappelaere,Sylvain Massuel,Marc Leblanc,Marie Boucher,Nicolas Boulain,Christian Leduc +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a physically-based, distributed hydrological model showed that land clearing increased runoff threefold, whereas the rainfall deficit decreased runoff by a factor of 2, and that the indirect impacts of land use change on water quantity and quality are much greater than the direct influence of climate variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Land clearance and hydrological change in the Sahel: SW Niger
Marc Leblanc,Guillaume Favreau,Sylvain Massuel,Sarah Tweed,Maud Loireau,B. Cappelaere,B. Cappelaere +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a time series of normalised mosaics of aerial photographs dating back from 1950, field inquiries, and updated groundwater data to provide one of the longest combined observations of land cover and hydrological changes for semiarid areas using a time-series of normalized mosaics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of MODIS gross primary productivity for Africa using eddy covariance data
Martin Sjöström,Maosheng Zhao,Sally Archibald,Almut Arneth,B. Cappelaere,Ulrike Falk,A. de Grandcourt,Niall P. Hanan,Laurent Kergoat,W. L. Kutsch,Lutz Merbold,Eric Mougin,Alecia Nickless,Y. Nouvellon,Robert J. Scholes,Elmar Veenendaal,Jonas Ardö +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the MOD17A2 product and its driver data by using in situ measurements of meteorology and eddy covariance GPP for 12 African sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precipitation as driver of carbon fluxes in 11 African ecosystems
Lutz Merbold,Jonas Ardö,Almut Arneth,Robert J. Scholes,Y. Nouvellon,A. de Grandcourt,Sally Archibald,Jean-Marc Bonnefond,Nicolas Boulain,N. Brueggemann,C. Bruemmer,B. Cappelaere,Eric Ceschia,Hatim Abdalla M. ElKhidir,B. A. El-Tahir,Ulrike Falk,Jon Lloyd,Laurent Kergoat,V. Le Dantec,Eric Mougin,M. Muchinda,M. M. Mukelabai,David Ramier,Olivier Roupsard,Franck Timouk,Elmar Veenendaal,W. L. Kutsch +26 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report carbon and water fluxes between the land surface and atmosphere in eleven different ecosystems types in Sub-Saharan Africa, as measured using eddy covariance (EC) technology in the first two years of the CarboAfrica network operation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring the potential of MODIS EVI for modeling gross primary production across African ecosystems
Martin Sjöström,Jonas Ardö,Almut Arneth,Nicolas Boulain,B. Cappelaere,Lars Eklundh,A. de Grandcourt,W. L. Kutsch,Lutz Merbold,Y. Nouvellon,Robert J. Scholes,Per Schubert,Jonathan Seaquist,Elmar Veenendaal +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between EDD covariance estimated GPP, environmental variables derived from flux towers, MODIS enhanced vegetation index (EVI), and GPP across African savanna ecosystems.
