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:

Application of BIOME-BGC to simulate Mediterranean forest processes
TL;DR: In this paper, the applicability of a widespread bio-geochemical model (BIOME-BGC) to estimate seasonal photosynthesis and transpiration within water limited Mediterranean forest environments is investigated.

Spatial and temporal trends of temperature and precipitation during 1960-2008 at the Hengduan Mountains, China
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed changes of temperature and precipitation in the Hengduan Mountains region during 1960-2008 and found that the significance of changes in precipitation during this period was low.

Response of ectomycorrhizal fungus sporocarp production to varying levels and patterns of green-tree retention
TL;DR: The results show that uniformity of EMF populations in forests cannot be inferred from stand structure alone, and lend support to the use of dispersed green-tree retention in combination with aggregated retention when maintaining sporocarp production is a goal.

Growth response of five co-occurring conifers to drought across a wide climatic gradient in Central Europe
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed tree-growth responses of five co-occurring conifer species to past climatic variations and severe droughts across a wide climatic gradient in Central Europe, covering four distinct biogeographic regions: the northern Swiss Alps, the Swiss Plateau, the foothills of the Jura Mountains and the dry Central Alps.

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.
