  • Assessing long-distance atmospheric transport of soilborne plant pathogens

    Open AccessHayes Klemm Brodsky, Rocío Calderón et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Pathogenic fungi are a leading cause of crop disease and primarily spread through microscopic, durable spores adapted differentially for both persistence and dispersal via soil, animals, water, and/or the atmosphere. Computational Earth system models and air pollution models have been used to simulate atmospheric spore transport for aerial-dispersal-adapted (airborne) rust diseases, but the importance of atmospheric spore transport for soil-dispe…

  • Spatial covariation between solar-induced fluorescence and vegetation indices from Arctic-Boreal landscapes

    Open AccessAndrew J Maguire, Jan U H Eitel et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    The Arctic-Boreal Zone (ABZ) is characterized by spatially heterogeneous vegetation composition and structure, leading to challenges for inferring patterns in vegetation productivity. A mechanistic understanding of the patterns and processes underlying spectral remote sensing observations is necessary to overcome these challenges. Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), near-infrared reflectance of vegetation (NIRv), and chlorophyll/caroten…

  • Towards mapping the diversity of canopy structure from space with Gedi

    Open AccessFabian Schneider, António Ferraz et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Plant biodiversity supports life on Earth and provides a range of important ecosystem services, but is under severe pressure by global change. Structural diversity plays a crucial role for carbon, water and energy cycles and animal habitats. However, it is very difficult to map and monitor over large areas, limiting our ability to assess the status of biodiversity and predict change. NASA’s Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) provides …

  • A multi-model analysis of risk of ecosystem shifts under climate change

    Open AccessLila Warszawski, A D Friend et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    Climate change may pose a high risk of change to Earth’s ecosystems: shifting climatic boundaries may induce changes in the biogeochemical functioning and structures of ecosystems that render it difficult for endemic plant and animal species to survive in their current habitats. Here we aggregate changes in the biogeochemical ecosystem state as a proxy for the risk of these shifts at different levels of global warming. Estimates are based on simu…

  • Simulated geographic variations of plant species richness, evenness and abundance using climatic constraints on plant functional diversity

    Open AccessAxel Kleidon, J M Adams et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2009

    Among the most pronounced large-scale geographic patterns of plant biodiversity are the increase in plant species richness towards the tropics, a more even distribution of the relative abundances of plant species in the tropics, and a nearly log-normal relative abundance distribution. Here we use an individual-based plant diversity model that relates climatic constraints to feasible plant growth strategies to show that all three basic diversity p…
