TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how evapotranspiration represents the key variable in linking ecosystem functioning, carbon and climate feedbacks, agricultural management, and water resources, and highlight both the outstanding science and applications questions and the actions, especially from a space-based perspective, necessary to advance them.
Abstract: The fate of the terrestrial biosphere is highly uncertain given recent and projected changes in climate. This is especially acute for impacts associated with changes in drought frequency and intensity on the distribution and timing of water availability. The development of effective adaptation strategies for these emerging threats to food and water security are compromised by limitations in our understanding of how natural and managed ecosystems are responding to changing hydrological and climatological regimes. This information gap is exacerbated by insufficient monitoring capabilities from local to global scales. Here, we describe how evapotranspiration (ET) represents the key variable in linking ecosystem functioning, carbon and climate feedbacks, agricultural management, and water resources, and highlight both the outstanding science and applications questions and the actions, especially from a space-based perspective, necessary to advance them.

TL;DR: If, in the future, the nutritional and medical values of the noni can be assessed, especially its anti-cancer activity, this fruit could play a noticeable economic role in producing countries.
281 citations
TL;DR: It is revealed that small-scale agricultural digesters can produce methane at concentrations useful for cooking, while improving the quality of the livestock wastewater, as well as withstand fluctuations in the influent water quality.
147 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the degradation of an aliphatic-aromatic biodegradable polyester film was studied under conditions of solar exposure and soil burial in a tropical area.
143 citations
TL;DR: The investigation proved that adding small amounts of grease to the influent is a simple way to double energy production without affecting other digester benefits and showed that methane production could be sustained for three months in digesters that co-digested swine manure and used cooking grease without daily inputs.
