Resolving scale-variance in the carbon dynamics of fragmented, mixed-use landscapes estimated using Model-Data Fusion
TL;DR: In this paper , two different approaches for combining satellite-based Earth Observation (EO) derived estimates of ecosystem leaf area and biomass stocks to constrain estimates of model parameters and their uncertainty for an intermedi-10 ate complexity model of the terrestrial C cycle are presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The Role of the Biomass Mission in Carbon Cycle Science and Politics
Shaun Quegan,Thuy Le Toan,Jérôme Chave,Markus Reichstein,Sassan Saatchi,Hank Shugart,Mathew Williams +6 more
TL;DR: The European Space Agency's 7th Earth Explorer mission, BIOMASS, was proposed in 2005 and since then there have been major changes in the scientific and political conditions within which it was conceived, and also within the technology and methodology both of the mission itself and of the complementary systems that will work with.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Assimilating MODIS reflectance data into an ecosystem model to improve estimates of terrestrial carbon flux: recent progress
TL;DR: Recent progress is detailed in the assimilation of top of canopy reflectance data into an ecosystem model to constrain estimates of net carbon flux and the requirement to provide spatialised reflectance model parameters and the restating of ancosystem model to optimise it for assimilating EO data.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Meso-Scale Variability of Soils and Forest Canopy Properties is Connected to Geomorphologic Features in Eastern Amazonia
TL;DR: It is concluded that topography is a major driver of the patterns of soil texture at the landscape scale and the combined effect of topography and soil can largely explain the pattern of LAI over the Tapajos.
