TLDR
A quantitative approach to plant-environment interactions is presented in this paper, where a quantitative approach is used to quantify the plant's environment interactions, including radiation, heat, mass and momentum transfer, energy balance and evaporation.Abstract:

Predictive habitat distribution models in ecology
TL;DR: A review of predictive habitat distribution modeling is presented, which shows that a wide array of models has been developed to cover aspects as diverse as biogeography, conservation biology, climate change research, and habitat or species management.

Improvements to a MODIS global terrestrial evapotranspiration algorithm
TL;DR: 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.

TL;DR: Differences among species that can be traced to different capacities for water acquisition, rather than to differences in metabolism at a given water status, are described.

Mechanistic niche modelling: combining physiological and spatial data to predict species' ranges.
TL;DR: Here, the principles of biophysical ecology can be used to link spatial data to the physiological responses and constraints of organisms, which provides a mechanistic view of the fundamental niche which can then be mapped to the landscape to infer range constraints.

Development of a global evapotranspiration algorithm based on MODIS and global meteorology data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a global remote sensing evapotranspiration (ET) algorithm based on Cleugh et al.'s [Cleugh, H.A., R. Leuning, Q. Mu, S.W. Running (2007) Regional evaporation estimates from flux tower and MODIS satellite data.
