Abstract: A significant fraction of the terrestrial biosphere comprises biomes containing tree–grass mixtures. Forecasting vegetation dynamics in these environments requires a thorough understanding of how trees and grasses use and compete for key belowground resources. There… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2021.112440
Abstract: Abstract Many satellite missions rely on modeling approaches to acquire global or regional evapotranspiration (ET) products. However, a current challenge in ET modeling lies in dealing with sub-pixel heterogeneity, as models often assume homogeneous conditions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.14284
Abstract: Plant essential macronutrients like nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) can limit savanna tree growth and are important determinants of savanna vegetation dynamics, along with rainfall, fire and herbivory. How nitrogen and phosphorus shape tree‐grass competition… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/agronomy10091247
Abstract: Energy plantations create new habitats in agricultural landscapes with species compositions different from those in forests or farmlands. The purpose of our nine-year research project (2010–2018) was to evaluate the dependence of weed-species richness and… read more here.
