TL;DR: In this article, a physical method based on the gap fraction model was proposed to retrieve the LAI correcting the between-crown clumping in discontinuous forest using GLAS full-waveform data.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study of water indices and image classification algorithms for mapping inland water bodies using Landsat imagery was carried out through obtaining 24 high-resolution (≤5 m) and cloud-free images archived in Google Earth with the same (or ± 1 day) acquisition dates as the Landsat-8 OLI images over 24 selected lakes across the globe, and developing a method to generate the alternate ground truth data from the Google Earth images for properly evaluating the image classification results.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a new ecohydrological model, Visualizing Ecosystems for Land Management Assessments (VELMA), to analyze the effects of forest harvest on catchment carbon and nitrogen dynamics.

TL;DR: In this article, a soil moisture diagnostic equation is applied to estimate soil moisture at depths of 0-100 cm at four USDA Soil Climate Analysis Network (SCAN) sites in arid and semi-arid regions: TX2105 in northwest Texas, NM2015 and NM2108 in east New Mexico, and AZ2026 in southeast Arizona.

TL;DR: In this article, the spatiotemporal characteristics of dry and wet climatic variables (precipitation, crop reference evapotranspiration (ET0), and humid index (HI)) are analyzed, and the probable reasons causing the changes in these variables are discussed during the period of 1961-2014.
