Fertilization effects on the ecohydrology of a southern California annual grassland by Parolari, Anthony Joseph, Goulden, M. L., Bras, Rafael L.

“…We use observations from a factorial irrigation and fertilization experiment in a nitrogen-limited southern California annual grassland to explore this hypothesis. Our analysis shows growing season soil moisture and canopy-scale water vapor conductance are equivalent in control and fertilized plots. …”

Rapid response of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities to short-term fertilization in an alpine grassland on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau by Xiang, Xingjia, He, Jin-Sheng, Wang, Chao, He, Dan, Li, Qian, Ni, Yingying, Chu, Haiyan, Gibbons, Sean Michael

“…Background: The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is home to the vast grassland in China. The QTP grassland ecosystem has been seriously degraded by human land use practices and climate change. …”

Estimation of surface turbulent heat fluxes via variational assimilation of sequences of land surface temperatures from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites by Xu, Tongren, Bateni, S. M., Liang, S., Mao, Kebiao, Entekhabi, Dara

“…Hence, in this study, combined-source (CS) and dual-source (DS) VDA schemes are tested extensively over six FluxNet sites with different vegetation covers (grassland, cropland, and forest) and climate conditions. …”

Global Precipitation Retrievals Using the NOAA AMSU Millimeter-Wave Channels: Comparisons with Rain Gauges by Surussavadee, Chinnawat, Staelin, David H.

“…Most surface classifications had bias ratios for AMSU/gauges that ranged from 0.88 to 1.59, although higher systematic AMSU overestimates by factors of 2.4, 3.1, and 9 were found for grassland, shrubs over bare ground, and pure bare ground, respectively. …”

Parameter estimation of coupled water and energy balance models based on stationary constraints of surface states by Sun, Jian, Salvucci, Guido D., Entekhabi, Dara, Farhadi, Leila

“…The method is tested at two AmeriFlux sites, Vaira Ranch (California) and Kendall Grassland (Arizona). The estimated fluxes (using only observed forcing and state variables) are in reasonable agreement with field measurements. …”

Retrievals of soil moisture and vegetation optical depth using a multi-channel collaborative algorithm by Zhao, Tianjie, Shi, Jiancheng, Entekhabi, Dara, Jackson, Thomas J, Hu, Lu, Peng, Zhiqing, Yao, Panpan, Li, Shangnan, Kang, Chuen Siang

“…Two ground-based microwave radiometry datasets collected in Inner Mongolia during the Soil Moisture Experiment in the Luan River from July to August 2017 (cropland) and August to September 2018 (grassland) are used for this study. The corn field, which covers an entire growth period, indicated that the degree of information increases linearly as the number of channels (in terms of the incidence angle and frequency) increases, and that the multi-frequency observations contain slightly more independent information than do the multi-angular observations under the same number of channels. …”

California native and exotic perennial grasses differ in their response to soil nitrogen, exotic annual grass density, and order of emergence by D'Antonio, Carla M., Corbin, Jeffrey D., Abraham, Joel K.

“…In addition, these species interactions in California grasslands may be mediated by increasing anthropogenic or natural soil nitrogen inputs. …”

Pleistocene drivers of Northwest African hydroclimate and vegetation by O’Mara, Nicholas A, Skonieczny, Charlotte, Winckler, Gisela, Bory, Aloys J-M, Bradtmiller, Louisa I, Malaizé, Bruno, Polissar, Pratigya J, Mcgee, David

“…We show that monsoon rainfall is controlled by low-latitude insolation gradients and that while increases in precipitation are associated with expansion of grasslands into desert landscapes, changes in pCO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> predominantly drive the C<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>/C<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> composition of savanna ecosystems.…”

Characterization of higher-order scattering from vegetation with SMAP measurements by Feldman, Andrew F, Akbar, Ruzbeh, Entekhabi, Dara

“…In this study, we investigate the degree to which multiple-scattering is prevalent over a range of land cover classifications (from lightly vegetated grasslands to dense forests) at the satellite scale by explicitly accounting for multiple-scattering in a first-order radiative transfer model, developed here. …”
