Surface energy exchanges and interactions with thunderstorms during the Maritime Continent Thunderstorm Experiment (MCTEX)
[1] Inputs of heat and moisture through surface energy exchanges are important in the evolution of diurnally modulated thunderstorms. As part of the Maritime Continent Thunderstorm Experiment (MCTEX) conducted on the Tiwi Islands, northern Australia, we measured the surface energy exchanges above the dominant surface types (savanna, grassland, forest and shallow tidal strait). Measurements were...
متن کاملCarbon dioxide fluxes from contrasting ecosystems in the Sudanian Savanna in West Africa
BACKGROUND The terrestrial land surface in West Africa is made up of several types of savanna ecosystems differing in land use changes which modulate gas exchanges between their vegetation and the overlying atmosphere. This study compares diurnal and seasonal estimates of CO2 fluxes from three contrasting ecosystems, a grassland, a mixture of fallow and cropland, and nature reserve in the Sudan...
متن کاملEstimating Plant Traits of Grasslands from UAV-Acquired Hyperspectral Images: A Comparison of Statistical Approaches
Grassland ecosystems cover around 40% of the entire Earth’s surface. Therefore, it is necessary to guarantee good grassland management at field scale in order to improve its conservation and to achieve optimal growth. This study identified the most appropriate statistical strategy, between partial least squares regression (PLSR) and narrow vegetation indices, for estimating the structural and b...
متن کاملUnderstanding livestock production and sustainability of grassland ecosystems in the Asian Dryland Belt
Background: Companioned by economic development, a dietary shift toward higher meat consumption is seen in developing countries and transitional economies, where the demand for livestock production has been increasing in response to such a dietary shift. In the Asian Dryland Belt, approaches to meet this demand have focused on grazing intensification, cropland conversion for animal feed, and su...
متن کاملCarbon storage in Chinese grassland ecosystems: Influence of different integrative methods
The accurate estimate of grassland carbon (C) is affected by many factors at the large scale. Here, we used six methods (three spatial interpolation methods and three grassland classification methods) to estimate C storage of Chinese grasslands based on published data from 2004 to 2014, and assessed the uncertainty resulting from different integrative methods. The uncertainty (coefficient of va...
