  • Development of a Climate Forcing Observation System for Africa: Data-Related Considerations 

    Saunders, Matthew; Beck, Johannes; López-Ballesteros, Ana; Hugo, Wim; Scholes, Robert; Helmschrot, Jörg (2019)
    In the case of the African continent, the estimates of most climate forcing components are associated with large uncertainties, above all the greenhouse gas budget. The EU-funded SEACRIFOG project is designing an observation ...

  • Development of Hybrid Models to Estimate Gross Primary Productivity at a Near-Natural Peatland Using Sentinel 2 Data and a Light Use Efficiency Model 

    Saunders, Matthew; Ghosh, Bidisha; Gill, Laurence; Connolly, John (2023)
    Peatlands store up to 2320 Mt of carbon (C) on only ~20% of the land area in Ireland; however, approximately 90% of this area has been drained and is emitting up to 10 Mt C per year. Gross primary productivity (GPP) is a ...

  • Fluxes of carbon and water in Cyperus papyrus L. tropical wetlands 

    Saunders, Matthew (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Botany, 2006)
    Carbon dioxide (CO2 ), water vapour (H2O) and energy fluxes play important roles in the functioning of vegetative ecosystems and also influence the climate of our planet at both the regional and global scale through important ...

  • Importance of reporting ancillary site characteristics, and management and disturbance information at ICOS stations. 

    Jones, Michael; Saunders, Matthew; Dengel, Sigrid; Kolari, Pasi; Moureaux, Christine; Montagnani, Leonardo; Ceschia, Eric; Altimir, Nuria; López-Ballesteros, Ana; Marañon-Jimenez, Sara; Acosta, Manuel; Klumpp, Katja; Gielen, Bert; Op de Beeck, Maarten; Hörtnagl, Lukas; Merbold, Lutz; Osborne, Bruce; Grünwald, Thomas; Arrouays, Dominique; Boukir, Hakima; Saby, Nicolas; Nicolini, Giacomo; Papale, Dario (2018)
    There are many factors that influence ecosystem scale carbon, nitrogen and greenhouse gas dynamics, including the inherent heterogeneity of soils and vegetation, anthropogenic management interventions, and biotic and abiotic ...

  • Towards a feasible and representative pan-African research infrastructure network for GHG observations 

    López-Ballesteros, Ana; Beck, Johannes; Bombelli, Antonio; Grieco, Elisa; Krkoška Lorencová, Eliška; Merbold, Lutz; Brümmer, Christian; Hugo, Wim; Scholes, Robert; Vačkár, David; Vermeulen, Alex; Acosta, Manuel; Butterbach-Bahl, Klaus; Helmschrot, Jörg; Jones, Michael; Jorch, Veronika; Pavelka, Marian; Skjelvan, Ingunn; Saunders, Matthew; Kim, Dong-Gill (2018)
    There is currently a lack of representative, systematic and harmonised greenhouse gas (GHG) observations covering the variety of natural and human-altered biomes that occur in Africa. This impedes the long-term assessment ...
