Journal ArticleDOI
A new model of gross primary productivity for North American ecosystems based solely on the enhanced vegetation index and land surface temperature from MODIS
Daniel A. Sims,Abdullah F. Rahman,Vicente D. Cordova,Bassil El-Masri,Dennis D. Baldocchi,Paul V. Bolstad,Lawrence B. Flanagan,Allen H. Goldstein,David Y. Hollinger,Laurent Misson,Russell K. Monson,Walter C. Oechel,Hans Peter Schmid,Steven C. Wofsy,Liukang Xu +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a new model, termed the Temperature and Greenness (TG) model, which combines enhanced vegetation index (EVI) and land surface temperature (LST) from MODIS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of 11 terrestrial carbon–nitrogen cycle models against observations from two temperate Free‐Air CO2 Enrichment studies
Soenke Zaehle,Belinda E. Medlyn,Martin G. De Kauwe,Anthony P. Walker,Michael Dietze,Thomas Hickler,Yiqi Luo,Ying-Ping Wang,Bassil El-Masri,Peter E. Thornton,Atul K. Jain,Shusen Wang,David Wårlind,Ensheng Weng,William J. Parton,Colleen M. Iversen,Anne Gallet-Budynek,Anne Gallet-Budynek,Heather R. McCarthy,Adrien C. Finzi,Paul J. Hanson,I. Colin Prentice,I. Colin Prentice,Ram Oren,Ram Oren,Richard J. Norby +25 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that improved representation of above-ground–below-ground interactions and better constraints on plant stoichiometry are important for a predictive understanding of eCO2 effects and improved accuracy of soil organic matter inventories is pivotal to reduce uncertainty in the observed C–N budgets.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the use of MODIS EVI to assess gross primary productivity of North American ecosystems
Daniel A. Sims,Abdullah F. Rahman,Vicente D. Cordova,Bassil El-Masri,Dennis D. Baldocchi,Lawrence B. Flanagan,Allen H. Goldstein,David Y. Hollinger,Laurent Misson,Russell K. Monson,Walter C. Oechel,Hans Peter Schmid,Steven C. Wofsy,Liukang Xu +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined direct relationships between the enhanced vegetation index (EVI) and gross primary productivity (GPP) measured at nine eddy covariance flux tower sites across North America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Where does the carbon go? A model-data intercomparison of vegetation carbon allocation and turnover processes at two temperate forest free-air CO2 enrichment sites.
Martin G. De Kauwe,Belinda E. Medlyn,Sönke Zaehle,Anthony P. Walker,Michael Dietze,Ying-Ping Wang,Yiqi Luo,Atul K. Jain,Bassil El-Masri,Thomas Hickler,David Wårlind,Ensheng Weng,William J. Parton,Peter E. Thornton,Shusen Wang,I. Colin Prentice,I. Colin Prentice,Shinichi Asao,Benjamin Smith,Heather R. McCarthy,Colleen M. Iversen,Paul J. Hanson,Jeffrey M. Warren,Ram Oren,Ram Oren,Richard J. Norby +25 more
TL;DR: This work used data from two temperate forest free-air CO2 enrichment experiments to evaluate representations of allocation and turnover in 11 ecosystem models and found that models did not perform well at predicting eCO2 effects on vegetation carbon storage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential of MODIS EVI and surface temperature for directly estimating per‐pixel ecosystem C fluxes
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of estimating per-pixel gross primary production (GPP) directly from the MODIS enhanced vegetation index (EVI) and respiration directly from MODIS surface temperature (MOD11) was tested.
