Land surface temperature (LST) is a preeminent state variable that controls the energy and water exchange between Earth's atmosphere. At landscape-scale, LST derived from thermal infrared radiance measured using space-borne radiometers. In contrast, plot-scale estimation at flux tower sites commonly based on inversion of upwelling longwave radiation captured by tower-mounted radiometers, whereas role downwelling component often ignored. We found neglecting reflected leads not only to...

One of the major environmental threat in world today is increased production plastic and its usage. The inept waste management system with regard to recycling energy recovery developing countries creates a global as land water body pollutant. However, durability, thermal properties, chemical resistance make plastics an alternate choice building material. This study investigates use concrete mixture objective improve performance building. shredded fibers from bottles (polyethylene...

<p>Good scientific practice requires good documentation and traceability of every research step in order to ensure reproducibility repeatability our research. However, with increasing data availability ability record big data, experiments analysis become more complex. This complexity often many pre- post-processing steps that all need be documented for final results. poses very different challenges numerical experiments, laboratory work field-data analysis. The platform Renku...

<p>The concept of canopy-scale resistances was developed to investigate and evaluate the transfer momentum, heat mass from leaf surface canopy air space atmosphere. Therefore, reliable estimates are fundamental importance for studying ecosystem scale fluxes land-atmosphere interaction. The resistance has two components: boundary layer canopy-air-to-atmosphere resistance. In big-leaf conceptualizations, represented in a single term called aerodynamic resistance, which refers...

Abstract Land surface temperature (LST) is a preeminent state variable that controls the energy and water exchange between Earth’s atmosphere. At landscape-scale, LST derived from thermal infrared radiance measured using space-borne radiometers. plot-scale, flux tower recorded longwave radiation components are inverted to retrieve LST. Since down-welling component was not routinely until recently, usually only up-welling used for plot-scale retrieval. However, we found ignoring reflected...

Plant leaves absorb solar radiation and carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere while releasing water vapour, oxygen heat to atmosphere. The leaf-atmosphere interface is hence primary determinant of water-carbon interactions, where stomata control transpiration according soil availability, but at cost reducing uptake by photosynthesis. It has been proposed that not only respond stress, function in a way maximise plant's long-term gain dynamically economising plant available varying...

<p>Land surface temperature (LST) is an important variable that controls the energy and water exchange between Earth’s atmosphere. It widely used to estimate evapo-transpiration vegetation stress through balance models. On a large scale, LST obtained from space-borne instruments (remote sensing) consisting of radiometers measuring thermal radiance underlying surface<!-- Radiometers don't assume emissivity, it only convert radiometer data Ts. -->....

<p>Vegetation responds to environmental change in many ways and at various time scales. For example, increasing atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentrations can reduce stomatal conductance and, hence, transpiration an hourly scale, whereas adjustments leaf area, photosynthetic capacity root distributions follow the daily seasonal scale.
