Optimized Gross Primary Productivity Over the Croplands Within the BEPS Particle Filtering Data Assimilation System (BEPS_PF v1.0) by Xiuli Xing, Mousong Wu, Huajie Zhu, Wenzhuo Duan, Weimin Ju, Xiaorong Wang, Youhua Ran, Yongguang Zhang, Fei Jiang

“…Abstract Agricultural ecosystems play an important role in modulating the global carbon balance by taking up atmospheric carbon dioxide, while large differences and uncertainties exist in the estimated crop gross primary productivity (GPP) by terrestrial ecosystem models (TEMs). With the aim of reducing the parameter uncertainty in TEMs for crop GPP simulation, we developed a particle filtering data assimilation (DA) system based on the ecosystem model BEPS (Biosphere Exchange Process Simulator), that is, the BEPS_PF (v1.0). …”

Wildfire danger under changing climates in the southern Great Plains throughout the 21st century by Shanmin Fang, Jia Yang, Chris B. Zou, Erik S. Krueger, Tyson E. Ochsner, Quan Zhang

“…The southern Great Plains (SGP) has recently experienced wildfires with unprecedented severity and frequency, which significantly threatened human life and property and altered terrestrial ecosystem functions. While it is expected that future climate change will affect wildfire danger levels by altering fire weather and fuel conditions, there remains a significant gap in understanding how these changes will manifest in the SGP. …”
