Global dimming and brightening: A review (2009, methodology): “Gu et al. [2003] noted for example that the increased diffuse light after the Pinatubo eruption and the”
The Effect of Diffuse Light on Crops (2008, background): “From earlier investigations in forests (Farquhar and Roderick, 2003; Gu et al., 2003), apple trees (Lakso and Mussleman, 1976) and grass canopies (Sheehy and Chapas, 1976) it is known that diffuse light is able to penetrate deeper into a plant canopy in comparison to direct light and that…”
Gross primary production and ecosystem respiration of irrigated and rainfed maize–soybean cropping systems over 8 years (2012, background): “…in GPP and light use efficiency due to diffuse light have been reported in maize and other ecosystems (e.g., Knohl and Baldocchi, 2008, Alton et al., 2007a, Alton et al., 2007b, Gu et al., 2003, Gu et al., 2002, Turner et al., 2003 and Choudhury, 2001), but not quantified on a growing season basis.”
Impact of clear and cloudy sky conditions on the vertical distribution of photosynthetic CO2 uptake within a spruce canopy (2012, positive): “Many researchers have now observed an enhancement in canopy photosynthesis under cloudy as opposed to sunny conditions (Hollinger et al. 1994; Law et al. 2002; Gu et al. 2003; Niyogi et al. 2004; Schwalm et al. 2006; Urban et al. 2007; Knohl & Baldocchi 2008; Mercado et al. 2009; Barr et al. 2010; D”
Characterizing the Seasonal Dynamics of Plant Community Photosynthesis Across a Range of Vegetation Types (2009, methodology): “The advance of the eddy covariance technique (Baldocchi et al. 1988 ; Baldocchi 2003) provides a tool amenable for studying the dynamics of plant community photosynthesis (Falge et al. 2002 ; Gu et al. 2002, 2003a, b) .”
Photophoretic levitation of engineered aerosols for geoengineering (2010, background): “The increase in diffuse radiation will in turn tend to whiten the visual appearance of the daytime sky and produce side effects ranging from alteration of ecosystem productivity (19) to the reduction in the output from concentrating solar power systems (20).”
Regional climate response to solar-radiation management (2010, background): “For example, aerosols from the eruption of Mount Pinatubo produced more diffuse light through scattering and in the year following the eruption a deciduous forest in Massachusetts experienced a 23p enhancement in photosynthesis because the plant canopies use diffuse light more efficiently than direc”
‘Breathing’ of the terrestrial biosphere: lessons learned from a global network of carbon dioxide flux measurement systems (2008, background): “…eddy flux measurements provide a measure of physiological function that is integrated across a rather large flux footprint and can be used to develop new phenology metrics, such as photosynthetic development and recession velocities and photosynthetic growing-season length (Gu et al. 2003b).”
Trade‐off between light interception efficiency and light use efficiency: implications for species coexistence in one‐sided light competition (2014, background): “Journal of Ecology © 2013 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology, 102, 167–175 light, which is more abundant than direct light in the understorey of the forest, can be used more efficiently for photosynthesis (Gu et al. 2003).”
Limited temperature response to the very large AD 1258 volcanic eruption (2009, background): “…simulated and estimated temperatures could conceivably result from a systematic bias in tree-rings due to a possible photosynthesis and tree growth enhancement resulting from a shift from direct to diffuse radiation, which leads to a more evenly illuminated canopy [Robock, 2005; Gu et al., 2003].”
