The importance of radiation for semiempirical water-use efficiency models

Journal Article Boese, Sven ; Jung, Martin ; Carvalhais, Nuno ; ... - Biogeosciences (Online)

Water-use efficiency (WUE) is a fundamental property for the coupling of carbon and water cycles in plants and ecosystems. Existing model formulations predicting this variable differ in the type of response of WUE to the atmospheric vapor pressure deficit of water (VPD). We tested a representative WUE model on the ecosystem scale at 110 eddy covariance sites of the FLUXNET initiative by predicting evapotranspiration (ET) based on gross primary productivity (GPP) and VPD. We found that introducing an intercept term in the formulation increases model performance considerably, indicating that an additional factor needs to be considered. We demonstrate that thismore »« less

Ideas and perspectives: how coupled is the vegetation to the boundary layer?

Journal Article De Kauwe, Martin G. ; Medlyn, Belinda E. ; Knauer, Jürgen ; ... - Biogeosciences (Online)

Understanding the sensitivity of transpiration to stomatal conductance is critical to simulating the water cycle. This sensitivity is a function of the degree of coupling between the vegetation and the atmosphere and is commonly expressed by the decoupling factor. The degree of coupling assumed by models varies considerably and has previously been shown to be a major cause of model disagreement when simulating changes in transpiration in response to elevated CO ₂. The degree of coupling also offers us insight into how different vegetation types control transpiration fluxes, which is fundamental to our understanding of land–atmosphere interactions.

Upscaled diurnal cycles of land–atmosphere fluxes: a new global half-hourly data product

Journal Article Bodesheim, Paul ; Jung, Martin ; Gans, Fabian ; ... - Earth System Science Data (Online)

Interactions between the biosphere and the atmosphere can be well characterized by fluxes between the two. In particular, carbon and energy fluxes play a major role in understanding biogeochemical processes on an ecosystem level or global scale. However, the fluxes can only be measured at individual sites, e.g., by eddy covariance towers, and an upscaling of these local observations is required to analyze global patterns. Previous work focused on upscaling monthly, 8-day, or daily average values, and global maps for each flux have been provided accordingly. In this paper, we raise the upscaling of carbon and energy fluxes between landmore »« less

Environmental controls on seasonal ecosystem evapotranspiration/potential evapotranspiration ratio as determined by the global eddy flux measurements

Journal Article Liu, Chunwei ; Sun, Ge ; McNulty, Steven G. ; ... - Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (Online)

The evapotranspiration / potential evapotranspiration (AET / PET) ratio is traditionally termed as the crop coefficient ( K _c) and has been generally used as ecosystem evaporative stress index. In the current hydrology literature, K _c has been widely used as a parameter to estimate crop water demand by water managers but has not been well examined for other types of ecosystems such as forests and other perennial vegetation. Understanding the seasonal dynamics of this variable for all ecosystems is important for projecting the ecohydrological responses to climate change and accurately quantifying water use at watershed to global scales.
