Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of ecosystem dynamics, plant geography and terrestrial carbon cycling in the LPJ dynamic global vegetation model
Stephen Sitch,Benjamin Smith,Iain Colin Prentice,Almut Arneth,Alberte Bondeau,Wolfgang Cramer,Jed O. Kaplan,Samuel Levis,Samuel Levis,Wolfgang Lucht,Martin T. Sykes,Kirsten Thonicke,Sergey Venevsky +12 more
TL;DR: The LPJ model as mentioned in this paper combines process-based, large-scale representations of terrestrial vegetation dynamics and land-atmosphere carbon and water exchanges in a modular framework, including feedback through canopy conductance between photosynthesis and transpiration and interactive coupling between these 'fast' processes and other ecosystem processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tipping elements in the Earth's climate system
Timothy M. Lenton,Hermann Held,Elmar Kriegler,Elmar Kriegler,Jim W. Hall,Wolfgang Lucht,Stefan Rahmstorf,Hans Joachim Schellnhuber,Hans Joachim Schellnhuber +8 more
TL;DR: It is explained how, in principle, early warning systems could be established to detect the proximity of some tipping points, and critically evaluate potential policy-relevant tipping elements in the climate system under anthropogenic forcing.
Journal ArticleDOI
First operational BRDF, albedo nadir reflectance products from MODIS
Crystal B. Schaaf,Feng Gao,Alan H. Strahler,Wolfgang Lucht,Xiaowen Li,Trevor Tsang,Nicholas C. Strugnell,Xiaoyang Zhang,Yufang Jin,Jan-Peter Muller,Philip Lewis,M. J. Barnsley,P. Hobson,Mathias Disney,Gareth Roberts,Michael Dunderdale,Christopher N.H. Doll,Robert P. d'Entremont,Baoxin Hu,Shunlin Liang,Jeffrey L. Privette,David P. Roy +21 more
TL;DR: The MODIS BRDF/Albedo algorithm makes use of a semi-empirical kernel-driven bidirectional reflectance model and multidate, multispectral data to provide global 1-km gridded and tiled products of the land surface every 16 days.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS): land remote sensing for global change research
Christopher O. Justice,Eric Vermote,John R. Townshend,Ruth DeFries,David P. Roy,Dorothy K. Hall,Vincent V. Salomonson,Jeffrey L. Privette,G. A. Riggs,Alan H. Strahler,Wolfgang Lucht,Ranga B. Myneni,Yuri Knyazikhin,Steven W. Running,Ramakrishna R. Nemani,Zhengming Wan,Alfredo Huete,W.J.D. van Leeuwen,Robert E. Wolfe,Louis Giglio,Jan-Peter Muller,Philip Lewis,M.J. Barnsley +22 more
TL;DR: The proposed MODIS standard products for land applications are described along with the current plans for data quality assessment and product validation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying and mapping the human appropriation of net primary production in earth's terrestrial ecosystems
Helmut Haberl,K. Heinz Erb,Fridolin Krausmann,Veronika Gaube,Alberte Bondeau,Christoph Plutzar,Simone Gingrich,Wolfgang Lucht,Marina Fischer-Kowalski +8 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive assessment of global HANPP based on vegetation modeling, agricultural and forestry statistics, and geographical information systems data on land use, land cover, and soil degradation that localizes human impact on ecosystems suggests large-scale schemes to substitute biomass for fossil fuels should be viewed cautiously.
