Vegetation biogeography is a main source of uncertainty in modelling the land carbon cycle!
Nature Communications@natcomms.nature.com · 8mo agoThe large uncertainty in land carbon-cycle estimates remains a major challenge. Here, the authors show that vegetation biogeography drives much of this uncertainty, with 75% of the uncertainty reducible using existing biogeography map from remote sensing. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Indonesia is the world 3rd largest coffee producer, with fast expanding coffee planting area. But we know little about the traits of coffee plants and how regional carbon cycle is affected. First of a series of work on coffee led by the great @tinsatriawan.bsky.social who does not drink coffee!

The seasonality, interannual variability and trend of vegetation greenness in tropical Asia — we completed the trilogy today!
Excited to share our new discoveries at AGU24! Wed pm. B34C-04 Tropical Asia vegetation greenness. Me Tue am. B21B-05 Camera tracks tropical GPP. Luri Tue am. B21N-1465 Biogeography in C modelling. Ruiying Wed am. B31Q-1510 Greening linked to phenology. Jiaqi
Many places on earth are greening, why not Southeast Asia? An interesting study led by Ruiying suggested the positive impact from elevated CO2 on greenness was almost offset by cropland (excl. oil palm) expansion, using a ML approach! Going to present it at #AGU24! bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/...
