Evaluation of 3B42V7 and IMERG Daily-Precipitation Products for a Very High-Precipitation Region in Northwestern South America

The availability of water is critical in determining the distribution of species by favoring or limiting their development, and leading to the formation of different ecosystems. Thus, analyzing the trends and fluctuations of the precipitation is a …

Seasonal change of leaf and woody area profiles in a midlatitude deciduous forest canopy from classified dual-wavelength terrestrial lidar point clouds

This study demonstrates the retrieval of separate vertical height profiles of leaf and woody areas in both leaf-off and leaf-on seasons at a largely broadleaf deciduous forest site in the Harvard Forest of central Massachusetts, USA, using point …

Reverse Engineering Model Structures for Soil and Ecosystem Respiration: The Potential of Gene Expression Programming

Accurate model representation of land- atmosphere carbon fluxes is essential for climate projections. However, the exact responses of carbon cycle processes to climatic drivers often remain uncertain. Presently, knowledge derived from experiments, …

An Extended Approach for Spatiotemporal Gapfilling: Dealing with Large and Systematic Gaps in Geoscientific Datasets

Spatiotemporal observations in Earth System sciences are often affected by numerous and/or systematically distributed gaps. This data fragmentation is inherited from instrument failures, sparse measurement protocols, or unfavourable conditions (e.g. …
