Gross primary productivity (GPP) is the largest
and most variable component of the global terrestrial carbon
cycle. Repeatable and accurate monitoring of terrestrial
GPP is therefore critical for quantifying dynamics in
regional-to-global carbon budgets. Remote sensing provides high frequency observations of terrestrial ecosystems and is
widely used to monitor and...
In the future, Earth will be warmer, precipitation events will be more extreme, global mean sea level will rise, and many arid and semiarid regions will be drier. Human modifications of landscapes will also occur at an accelerated rate as developed areas increase in size and population density. We now...

Fishery management production models tend to stress only the elements directly linked to fish (i.e. fish, fish food, and fish predators). Large coastal jellyfish are major consumers of plankton in heavily fished ecosystems; yet, they are frequently not included as model components. We explore the relationship between gulf menhaden (Brevoortia...
