Faith Ann Heinsch, Maosheng Zhao, Steven W. Running, John S. Kimball, Ramakrishna R. Nemani, Kenneth J. Davis, ...

(MODIS) sensor has provided near real-time estimates of gross primary production (GPP) since March 2000. We compare four years (2000 to 2003) of satellite-based calculations of GPP with tower eddy...

1560 R EPORTS Climate-Driven Increases in Global Terrestrial Net Primary (2008)

Ramakrishna R. Nemani, Charles D. Keeling, Hirofumi Hashimoto, William M. Jolly, Stephen C. Piper, Compton J. Tucker, ...

Recent climatic changes have enhanced plant growth in northern mid-latitudes and high latitudes. However, a comprehensive analysis of the impact of global climatic changes on vegetation productivity...

El Niño–Southern Oscillation–induced variability in terrestrial carbon cycling (2008)

Hirofumi Hashimoto, Ramakrishna R. Nemani, Michael A. White, William M. Jolly

[1] We examined the response of terrestrial carbon fluxes to climate variability induced by the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). We estimated global net primary production (NPP) from 1982 to...

A Continuous Satellite-Derived Measure of Global Terrestrial Primary Production (2004)

STEVEN W. RUNNING, RAMAKRISHNA R. NEMANI, FAITH ANN HEINSCH, MAOSHENG ZHAO, MATT REEVES, HIROFUMI HASHIMOTO

Until recently, continuous monitoring of global vegetation productivity has not been possible because of technological limitations. This article introduces a new satellite-driven monitor of the...

Measuring Fractional Cover and Leaf Area Index in Arid Ecosystems: Digital Camera, Radiation Transmittance, and Laser Altimetry Methods (1999)

White, Michael A, Asner, Gregory P, Nemani, Ramakrishna R, Privette, Jeff L, Running, Steven W

Field measurement of shrubland ecological properties is important for both site monitoring and validation of remote sensing information. During the May 1997 NASA Earth Observing System Jornada...

THE MODERATE resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (1999)

Wenze Yang, Dong Huang, Bin Tan, Julienne C. Stroeve, Nikolay V. Shabanov, Yuri Knyazikhin, ...

Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR) data sets is presented in this article with the goal of understanding product quality with respect to version (Collection 3 versus 4), algorithm (main...

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS): land remote sensing for global change research (1998)

Alfredo R. Huete, Kamel Didan, Yosio E. Shimabukuro, Piyachat Ratana, Scott R. Saleska, Lucy R. Hutyra, ...

[1] Metabolism and phenology of Amazon rainforests significantly influence global dynamics of climate, carbon and water, but remain poorly understood. We analyzed Amazon vegetation phenology at...

Large seasonal swings in leaf area of Amazon rainforests

Myneni, Ranga B., Yang, Wenze, Nemani, Ramakrishna R., Huete, Alfredo R., Dickinson, Robert E., Knyazikhin, Yuri, ...

Despite early speculation to the contrary, all tropical forests studied to date display seasonal variations in the presence of new leaves, flowers, and fruits. Past studies were focused on the timing...
