Small islands are of special interest for sustainable development because of their unique
characteristics and vulnerabilities. They are ecologically fragile, have limited resources, are …

Extreme climatic events, such as droughts and heat stress, induce anomalies in ecosystem–
atmosphere CO 2 fluxes, such as gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration …

Terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP) varies greatly over time and space. A better
understanding of this variability is necessary for more accurate predictions of the future …

Proposed European policy in the agricultural sector will place higher emphasis on soil
organic carbon (SOC), both as an indicator of soil quality and as a means to offset CO2 …

Interactions between the biosphere and the atmosphere can be well characterized by fluxes
between the two. In particular, carbon and energy fluxes play a major role in understanding …

Time-varying crop coefficients (Kc) can be obtained from remotely sensed data and
combined with daily potential evapotranspiration estimates for the operational prediction of …

One solution to mitigate climate change can be the production of renewable energy. In this
context, the aims of this paper are:(1) the identification of local unsuitable areas for the …

Remote sensing techniques that provide synoptic and repetitive observations over large
geographic areas have become increasingly important in studying the role of agriculture in …

China has implemented strict policies for protecting cultivated land, and the Chinese
government has focused on the non-grain production (NGP) of cultivated land. This study …

Most available biogeochemical models focus within a soil profile and cannot adequately
resolve contributions of the lighter size fractions of organic rich soils for enrichment ratio …
