Soil erosion and the global carbon budget. (2003, background): “There has been a considerable interest in the land-based C sinks (Pacala et al., 2002; Hurtt et al., 2002; Myneni et al., 2001a,b).”
Sources of variability in canopy reflectance and the convergent properties of plants. (2011, background): “…that include characterization of land use and vegetation type (e.g. Running et al., 1995; Hansen et al., 2000), vegetation biomass (e.g. Myneni et al., 2001), leaf area index (LAI; e.g. Turner et al., 1999; Zheng & Moskal, 2009), light use efficiency (e.g. Hilker et al., 2008), primary…”
Impacts of climate change on the tree line. (2002, background): “Very recently, such data have been used to infer an increasing intensity of the terrestrial carbon sink (Myneni et al., 2001), although optical re¯ectance data cannot be very precise for this application.”
A meta-analysis of remote sensing research on supervised pixel-based land-cover image classification processes: General guidelines for practitioners and future research (2016, neutral): “…sensing products play an integral role in numerous applications, for example carbon emission monitoring (Birdsey et al., 2013; DeFries et al., 2002; Myneni et al., 2001; Schwalm et al., 2012), forest monitoring (Asner et al., 2006; Gong et al., 2013; Hansen et al., 2008, 2013; Myneni et al., 2007;…”
Spatial separation of litter decomposition and mycorrhizal nitrogen uptake in a boreal forest. (2007, background): “Boreal forests have been identified as a major global C sink (Myneni et al., 2001), and interactions between the cycles of C and N have been of paramount interest in discussions about predictions of effects of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration and N deposition on boreal and temperate forests…”
Regulation of animal size by eNPP, Bergmann's rule, and related phenomena (2011, background): “Indeed, it has recently been recognized that ecosystems at temperate latitudes are important (often unrecognized) global carbon sinks (Enting and Mansbridge 1991, Ciais et al. 1995, Enting 2000, Myneni et al. 2001).”
Bryophytes attenuate anthropogenic nitrogen inputs in boreal forests (2011, background): “woody plant productivity because both living and dead woody materials have a long residence time relative to nonwoody plant materials, and litter production by woody species is likely to influence sequestration of C in the soil (Myneni et al., 2001; de Vries et al., 2006; Pregitzer et al., 2008).”
Active and total microbial communities in forest soil are largely different and highly stratified during decomposition (2011, background): “Coniferous forest ecosystems have a prominent role in the global carbon cycle (Myneni et al., 2001), and knowledge of microbially mediated soil functions is thus required for estimating global C fluxes and their potential future changes.”
Spatial and Temporal Variation of NDVI in Response to Climate Change and the Implication for Carbon Dynamics in Nepal (2018, methodology): “This model was also used by [30,31] based on growing season total NDVI, annual average NDVI and latitude.”
A model for regional analysis of carbon sequestration and timber production (2005, background): “, 1996; Ågren and Hyvönen, 2003) or even whole continents (Myneni et al., 2001; Cannell, 2003).”
Mapping Russian forest biomass with data from satellites and forest inventories (2007, methodology): “…optical satellite data, calibrated with data from forest inventories, to determine biomass over large areas in temperate zone and boreal regions (Myneni et al 2001, Baccini et al 2004, Zhang and Kondragunta 2006, Muukkonen and Heiskanen 2007) and in the tropics (Foody et al 2001, Saatchi et al…”
