Singh, C. (author), Wang-Erlandsson, Lan (author), Fetzer, Ingo (author), Rockström, Johan (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author)Climate change and deforestation have increased the risk of drought-induced forest-to-savanna transitions across the tropics and subtropics. However, the present understanding of forest-savanna transitions is generally focused on the influence of rainfall and fire regime changes, but does not take into account the adaptability of vegetation...journal article 2020

(author), Ziv, Guy (author)Spatiotemporal ecological modelling of terrestrial ecosystems relies on climatological and biophysical Earth observations. Due to their increasing availability, global coverage, frequent acquisition and high spatial resolution, satellite remote sensing (SRS) products are frequently integrated to in situ data in the development of ecosystem...review 2018

Gao, H. (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author), Schymanski, S.J. (author), Fenicia, F.F. (author), Sriwongsitanon, N. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author)The root zone moisture storage capacity (SR) of terrestrial ecosystems is a buffer providing vegetation continuous access to water and a critical factor controlling land-atmospheric moisture exchange, hydrological response, and biogeochemical processes. However, it is impossible to observe directly at catchment scale. Here, using data from 300...journal article 2014

Zanardo, S. (author), Harman, C.J. (author), Troch, P.A. (author), Rao, P.S.C. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author)We evaluate the extent to which within-year rainfall variability controls interannual variability of catchment water balance. To this end, we analytically derive the probability density function of the annual Budyko evaporation index, B (i.e., the ratio of annual actual evapotranspiration to annual precipitation), by accounting for the...journal article 2012

Thompson, S.E. (author), Harman, C.J. (author), Konings, A.G. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author), Neal, A. (author), Troch, P.A. (author)Watersheds can be characterized as complex space?time filters that transform incoming fluxes of energy, water, and nutrients into variable output signals. The behavior of these filters is driven by climate, geomorphology, and ecology and, accordingly, varies from site to site. We investigated this variation by exploring the behavior of...journal article 2011
