TLDR
The core project Biospheric Aspects of the Hydrological Cycle (BAHC) as discussed by the authors addresses the biospheric aspects of the hydrological cycle through experiments and modelling of energy, water, carbon dioxide and sediment fluxes in the soil vegetation-atmosphere system at a variety of spatial and temporal scales.About:

Development of a global land cover characteristics database and igbp discover from 1 km avhrr data
Thomas R. Loveland,Bradley C. Reed,Jesslyn F. Brown,Donald O. Ohlen,Zhiliang Zhu,Limin Yang,James W. Merchant +6 more
TL;DR: The IGBP DISCover global land cover product as mentioned in this paper is an integral component of the Global Land Cover database, which provides a unique view of the broad patterns of the biogeographical and ecoclimatic diversity of the global land surface and presents a detailed interpretation of the extent of human development.

Terrestrial vegetation and water balance-hydrological evaluation of a dynamic global vegetation model
TL;DR: In this paper, the hydrological performance of the Lund-Potsdam-Jena model (LPJ), a prominent dynamic global vegetation model, is evaluated, and it is shown that runoff and evapotranspiration computed by LPJ agree well with respective results from state-of-the-art global hydrologogical models, while in some regions, runoff is significantly over- or underestimated compared to observations.

Groundwater recharge: an overview of processes and challenges
Jacobus J. de Vries,Ian Simmers +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized current understanding of recharge processes, identified recurring rechargeevaluation problems, and reported on some recent advances in estimation techniques for (semi-)arid regions.

The influence of land-use change and landscape dynamics on the climate system: relevance to climate-change policy beyond the radiative effect of greenhouse gases.
Roger A. Pielke,Gregg Marland,Richard Betts,Thomas N. Chase,Joseph L. Eastman,John O. Niles,Dev Niyogi,Steven W. Running +7 more
TL;DR: A new metric is needed to quantify the human disturbance of the Earth's surface-energy budget, and this ‘regional climate change potential’ could offer a new metric for developing a more inclusive climate protocol.

Carbon pools and flux of global forest ecosystems.
Robert K. Dixon,Allen M. Solomon,Sandra Brown,Richard A. Houghton,M. C. Trexier,J. Wisniewski +5 more
TL;DR: Slowing deforestation, combined with an increase in forestation and other management measures to improve forest ecosystem productivity, could conserve or sequester significant quantities of carbon.

A remote sensing surface energy balance algorithm for land (SEBAL)-1. Formulation
TL;DR: The Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL) as mentioned in this paper estimates the spatial variation of most essential hydro-meteorological parameters empirically, and requires only field information on short wave atmospheric transmittance, surface temperature and vegetation height.

Terrestrial ecosystems and the carbon cycle
TL;DR: The terrestrial biosphere plays an important role in the global carbon cycle as mentioned in this paper, which is the fluxes of carbon among four main reservoirs: fossil carbon, the atmosphere, the oceans, and the terrestrial Biosphere.
