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. …”

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. …”

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. …”

The contribution of fungal spores and bacteria to regional and global aerosol number and ice nucleation immersion freezing rates by Spracklen, D. V., Heald, Colette L.

“…Simulated surface concentrations of bacteria are 2.5 × 10[superscript 4] m[superscript −3] over most continental regions and 5 × 10[superscript 4] m[superscript −3] over grasslands of central Asia and North America. These simulated surface number concentrations of fungal spores and bacteria are broadly in agreement with the limited available observations. …”
