RAMI4PILPS: An intercomparison of formulations for the partitioning of solar radiation in land surface models (2011, background): “This finding is certainly of relevance when it comes to the reliability of studies assessing the role of diffuse radiation in the context of the terrestrial carbon sink [e.g.,Mercado et al., 2009].”
Anthropogenic and Natural Radiative Forcing (2014, background): “Volcanic impacts on the carbon cycle because of more diffuse radiation (Mercado et al., 2009) and on remote sensing can also be useful analogues, and the impacts of contrail-generated sub-visual cirrus (Long et al.”
An overview of the Earth system science of solar geoengineering (2016, background): “The increase in diffuse light is expected to boost plant productivity, as diffuse light can penetrate through the canopy to the shaded leaves below.(90) Xia et al.”
Enlightening Global Dimming and Brightening (2012, background): “Modeling studies further suggest that dimming/ brightening may also impact the terrestrial carbon cycle and plant growth (Mercado et al. 2009).”
Solar park microclimate and vegetation management effects on grassland carbon cycling (2016, background): “In addition to affecting plant productivity, reduced PAR and the balance between direct and diffuse radiation can alter the processing of C, for example increasing soil C sequestration, within the plant–soil system (Mercado et al 2009, Bahn et al 2013).”
