TL;DR: The FLUXNET2015 dataset provides ecosystem-scale data on CO 2 , water, and energy exchange between the biosphere and the atmosphere, and other meteorological and biological measurements, from 212 sites around the globe, and is detailed in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the representation of phenology, and the associated seasonality of ecosystem-scale CO2 exchange, in 14 models participating in the North American Carbon Program Site Synthesis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the relationship between energy balance closure and landscape heterogeneity using MODIS products and GLOBEstat elevation data and found that landscape-level heterogeneity in vegetation and topography cannot be ignored as a contributor to incomplete energy balance closures at the surface-atmosphere exchange measurements.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared observed and simulated monthly CO2 exchange from 44 eddy covariance flux towers in North America and 22 terrestrial biosphere models, and evaluated model skill as a function of drought and seasonality.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of 16 terrestrial biosphere models and 3 remote sensing products against long-term measurements of biosphere-atmosphere CO2 exchange made with eddy-covariance flux towers at 11 forested sites in North America was evaluated.
