Vegetation biogeography is a main source of uncertainty in modelling the land carbon cycle!

Frontiers | Characterizing the plant functional traits of coffee agroecosystems in Indonesia Indonesia, the world’s third-largest coffee producer, is rapidly expanding coffee agroecosystems, often at the expense of deforestation. Understanding the ec...

Indonesia is the world 3rd largest coffee producer, with fast expanding coffee planting area. But we know little about the traits of coffee plants and how regional carbon cycle is affected. First of a series of work on coffee led by the great @tinsatriawan.bsky.social who does not drink coffee!

First Sumatra Squall of the year, happening now!

The spatiotemporal variations in ecosystem photosynthetic quantum yield and their drivers The quantum yield (α) of photosynthesis represents the maximum light use efficiency (LUE) as indicated by the initial slope of photosynthetic light re…

We studied the changes in global ecosystem quantum yield (max light use efficiency) using long-term eddy covariance data. Spolier alert - no clear trend in quantum yield! Likely CO2 effect offset by VPD. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Cropland expansion drives vegetation greenness decline in Southeast Asia Abstract. Land-use and land-cover change (LUCC) is a key factor in determining regional vegetation greenness, impacting terrestrial carbon, water, and energy budgets. As a global LUCC hot spot, Southe...

Many places on earth are greening, why not Southeast Asia? An interesting study led by Ruiying suggested the positive impact from elevated CO2 on greenness was almost offset by cropland (excl. oil palm) expansion, using a ML approach! Going to present it at #AGU24! bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/...
