Seasonal patterns of canopy photosynthesis captured by remotely sensed sun-induced fluorescence and vegetation indexes in mid-to-high latitude forests: A cross-platform comparison
Xinchen Lu , Xiao Cheng, Xianglan Li Jiquan Chen, Minmin Sun, Ming Ji, Hong He, Siyu Wang, Sen Li, Jianwu Tang

Characterized by the noticeable seasonal patterns of canopy photosynthesis, mid-to-high latitude forests are sen- sitive to climate change and crucial for understanding the global carbon cycle. To monitor the seasonal cycle of the canopy photosynthesis from space, several remotely sensed indexes, such as normalized difference vegeta- …

Kobayashi, H., Nagai, S., Kim, Y., Yang, W., Ikeda, K., Ikawa, H., Nagano, H., Suzuki, R.

Plant phenology timings, such as spring green-up and autumn senescence, are essential state information characterizing biological responses and terrestrial carbon cycles. Current efforts for the in situ reflectance measurements are not enough to obtain the exact interpretation of how seasonal spectral signature responds to phenological …

Warming-Induced Earlier Greenup Leads To Reduced Stream Discharge In A Temperate Mixed Forest Catchment
Kim, J. H., Hwang, T., Yang, Y., Schaaf, C. L., Boose, E., Munger, J. W.

The phenological response of vegetation to ongoing climate change may have great implications for hydrological regimes in the eastern United States. However, there have been few studies that analyze its resultant effect on catchment discharge dynamics, separating from dominant climatic controls. In this study, we examined the net …

Regional Climate Model Simulation Of Surface Moisture Flux Variations In Northern Terrestrial Regions
Fischer, R., Walsh, J. E., Euskirchen, E. S., Bieniek, P. A.

The wetness of high-latitude land surfaces is strongly dependent on the dif- ference between precipitation (P) and evapotranspiration (ET). If climate models are to capture the trajectory of surface wetness in high latitudes, they must be able to simulate the seasonality and variations of the surface moisture fluxes, as well as the …

Links Between Annual Surface Temperature Variation And Land Cover Heterogeneity For A Boreal Forest As Characterized By Continuous, Fibre-Optic Dts Monitoring
Saito, K., Iwahana, G., Ikawa, H., Nagano, H., Busey, R. C.

A fibre-optic DTS (distributed temperature sensing) system using Raman-scattering optical time domain reflectometry was deployed to monitor a boreal forest research site in the interior of Alaska. Surface temperatures range between −40°C in winter and 30°C in summer at this site. In parallel experiments, a fibre-optic cable sensor …

Aerodynamic canopy height (ha) is the effective height of vegetation canopy for its influence on atmospheric fluxes and is a key parameter of surface‐atmosphere coupling. However, methods to estimate ha from data are limited. This synthesis evaluates the applicability and robustness of the calculation of ha from eddy covariance …
