Improvements to a MODIS global terrestrial evapotranspiration algorithm
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.About:

Drought-Induced Reduction in Global Terrestrial Net Primary Production from 2000 Through 2009
Maosheng Zhao,Steven W. Running +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest a reduction in the global NPP of 0.55 petagrams of carbon, which would not only weaken the terrestrial carbon sink, but would also intensify future competition between food demand and biofuel production.

A review of global terrestrial evapotranspiration: observation, modeling, climatology, and climatic variability
Kaicun Wang,Robert E. Dickinson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors survey the basic theories, observational methods, satellite algorithms, and land surface models for terrestrial evapotranspiration, including a long-term variability and trends perspective.

Sensitivity of global terrestrial ecosystems to climate variability

TL;DR: This study provides a quantitative methodology for assessing the relative response rate of ecosystems—be they natural or with a strong anthropogenic signature—to environmental variability, which is the first step towards addressing why some regions appear to be more sensitive than others, and what impact this has on the resilience of ecosystem service provision and human well-being.

TL;DR: It is estimated that land use and related pressures have already reduced local biodiversity intactness—the average proportion of natural biodiversity remaining in local ecosystems—beyond its recently proposed planetary boundary across 58.1% of the world’s land surface, where 71.4%) of the human population live.

Accuracy of soil heat flux plate measurements in coarse substrates – Field measurements versus a laboratory test
TL;DR: In this article, the in-situ performance of heat flux plates within coarse porous substrates might be limited due to poor contact between plate and substrate, and the authors tested this behavior with a simple laboratory set-up.
