Diminishing carryover benefits of earlier spring vegetation growth
Spring vegetation growth can benefit summer growth by increasing foliage area and carbon sequestration potential, or impair it by consuming additional resources needed for sustaining subsequent growth. However...

Optical vegetation indices for monitoring terrestrial ecosystems globally
Vegetation indices (VIs), which describe remotely sensed vegetation properties such as photosynthetic activity and canopy structure, are widely used to study vegetation dynamics across scales. However, VI-base...

Increased control of vegetation on global terrestrial energy fluxes
Changes in vegetation structure are expected to influence the redistribution of heat and moisture; however, how variations in the leaf area index (LAI) affect this global energy partitioning is not yet quantif...

Seasonal changes in vertical canopy structure in a temperate broadleaved forest in Korea
Field measurements of vertical canopy structure have been challenging for decades and still important for understanding forest ecosystems. We measured the vertical canopy structure and its seasonal changes in ...

Estimating leaf inclination and G-function from leveled digital camera photography in broadleaf canopies
The effectiveness of using leveled digital camera for measuring leaf inclination angles was investigated in this study as an inexpensive and convenient alternative to existing approaches. The new method is val...

A Synthesis of Forest Evaporation Fluxes – from Days to Years – as Measured with Eddy Covariance
The annual water budget of a forested landscape is the sum of precipitation minus the sum of evaporation, runoff, storage, and leakage. The evaporation term, which is the subject of this chapter, comprises the...
