Geostationary satellites are well known for their role in supporting weather forecasting. They are emerging as powerful tools for monitoring other conditions at Earth’s land surface as well, write @xiangzluo.bsky.social and colleagues. eos.org/science-upda...

Vegetation biogeography is a main source of uncertainty in modelling the land carbon cycle!

Indonesia is the world 3rd largest coffee producer, with fast expanding coffee planting area. But we know little about the traits of coffee plants and how regional carbon cycle is affected. First of a series of work on coffee led by the great @tinsatriawan.bsky.social who does not drink coffee!

I found an obituary for Steve www.renner-wikoffchapel.com/obituary/Ste...

On the blog for this week: @xiangzluo.bsky.social New paper on the use of eddy covariance data to infer global patterns of vegetation Carbon Use Efficiency research.reading.ac.uk/lemontree/us... @ngocnb.bsky.social @trevorkeenan.bsky.social

How well plants use their photosynthesized carbon? Using global eddy covariance observations and ecological theory, our study reveals the pattern of vegetation carbon use efficiency (CUE) worldwide! @fluxnet.bsky.social @natureportfolio.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌍🌱 How Efficient Are Plants at Using Carbon? 🌱🌍 A major new study in @natecoevo.nature.com reveals how well plants across the globe convert CO₂ into biomass—a key to understanding Earth’s carbon balance. 🗨️ “It’s not just how much CO₂ plants absorb—it’s how much they keep” @xiangzluo.bsky.social

🌍New paper out today!!! Global variation in vegetation carbon use efficiency inferred from eddy covariance observations @xiangzluo.bsky.social @natureportfolio.nature.com 🔗👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

First Sumatra Squall of the year, happening now!

We studied the changes in global ecosystem quantum yield (max light use efficiency) using long-term eddy covariance data. Spolier alert - no clear trend in quantum yield! Likely CO2 effect offset by VPD. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The seasonality, interannual variability and trend of vegetation greenness in tropical Asia — we completed the trilogy today!

Excited to share our new discoveries at AGU24! Wed pm. B34C-04 Tropical Asia vegetation greenness. Me Tue am. B21B-05 Camera tracks tropical GPP. Luri Tue am. B21N-1465 Biogeography in C modelling. Ruiying Wed am. B31Q-1510 Greening linked to phenology. Jiaqi

Many places on earth are greening, why not Southeast Asia? An interesting study led by Ruiying suggested the positive impact from elevated CO2 on greenness was almost offset by cropland (excl. oil palm) expansion, using a ML approach! Going to present it at #AGU24! bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/...
