TLDR
In this article, an improved version of the global evapotranspiration (ET) algorithm based on MODIS and global meteorology data has been proposed, which simplifies the calculation of vegetation cover fraction, calculating ET as the sum of daytime and nighttime components, adding soil heat flux calculation, improving estimates of stomatal conductance, aerodynamic resistance and boundary layer resistance, separating dry canopy surface from the wet and dividing soil surface into saturated wet surface and moist surface.

Impacts of juniper woody plant encroachment into grasslands on local climate

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the differences of land surface temperature (LST), albedo (ΔAlbedo), and evapotranspiration (ET) between juniper-woody-encroached grasslands and adjacent pure grasslands using 16-year of remote sensing data.
