Generating surfaces of daily meteorological variables over large regions of complex terrain
TLDR
In this paper, a method for generating daily surfaces of temperature, precipitation, humidity, and radiation over large regions of complex terrain is presented, based on the spatial convolution of a truncated Gaussian weighting filter with the set of station locations.About:

Interpolated or satellite-based precipitation? Implications for hydrological modeling in a meso-scale mountainous watershed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the performance of two quasi-physically based interpolation algorithms (i.e., MicroMet and PrecLaps) with the widely used SPPs, in and around the Babao River Basin (BRB), a meso-scale mountainous watershed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Using local spatial autocorrelation to compare outputs from a forest growth model
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied a calibrated physiological model (3PG) and predicted two fundamental forest growth attributes (LAI and stand volume) using local spatial autocorrelation.

Interpreting woody plant richness from seasonal ratios of photosynthesis
TL;DR: In this paper, a satellite-driven process model was used to predict gross photosynthesis and established, on a monthly time step, the most constraining environmental variable for forested portions of Oregon.

Assessment of dryland condition using spatial anomalies of vegetation index values
TL;DR: In this paper, a spatial modelling framework is developed for the quantification of E a/P over large areas using remotely sensed vegetation density patterns, where the ratio of long-term actual evapotranspiration and precipitation (E a/p) is proposed as an objective indicator of dryland condition.

The contributions of forest structure and substrate to bryophyte diversity and abundance in mature coniferous forests of the Pacific Northwest
TL;DR: Bryophyte composition differed significantly among sites, but patterns of richness and rank abundance were surprisingly similar, despite differences in stand structure and climate.

A Statistical-Topographic Model for Mapping Climatological Precipitation over Mountainous Terrain
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analytical model that distributes point measurements of monthly and annual precipitation to regularly spaced grid cells in midlatitude regions, using a combination of climatological and statistical concepts to analyze orographic precipitation.

A general model of forest ecosystem processes for regional applications I. Hydrologic balance, canopy gas exchange and primary production processes
TL;DR: In this paper, an ecosystem process model is described that calculates the carbon, water and nitrogen cycles through a forest ecosystem, which uses leaf area index (lai) to quantify the forest structure important for energy and mass exchange, and represents a key simplification for regional scale applications.

On the relationship between incoming solar radiation and daily maximum and minimum temperature
TL;DR: In this article, a relationship between atmospheric transmittance and the daily range of air temperature is developed, where the relationship is Tt = A[1 −exp(exp(BΔTc)] where Tt is the daily total atmospherictransmittance, ΔT is the average air temperature, and A, B, and C are empirical coefficients, determined for a particular location from measured solar radiation data.
