Call for Papers
This special issue will focus on the integration of remote sensing,
sensors,
geographical information systems (GIS), process-based models, and
empirical
models to quantify interactions among solar radiation, climate and
biogeochemical cycles in ecological systems at local-to-global scales.
Full
research papers with new findings and reviews about the
state-of-the-art of
integration methods for spatial and temporal modeling of changes in the
biosphere-atmosphere-hydrosphere-pedosphere systems are welcome.
Submissions
are strongly encouraged for the following topics, but are not limited
to the
following:
- Utilization of remotely
sensed data for solar radiation (SR), photosynthetically active
radiation (PAR), canopy dynamics, land-use/land-cover dynamics;
- Application of GIS and
geostatistics to model feedbacks and dynamics of solar radiation and
biogeochemical cycles (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, water);
- Integration of remotely
sensed data, GIS, and mechanistic and empirical models to have a better
understanding and quantification of interactions among solar radiation,
climate, distribution of ecosystems and/or plant functional types, and
biological and/or ecosystem productivity; and
- Simulation of changes in
SR, PAR and cloudiness and their impacts on the structure and function
of terrestrial ecosystems in response to climate change
scenarios.
Keywords:
Spatio-temporal modeling, Biogeochemical cycles, Climate change,
Spatial
interpolation, Remote sensing, GIS, Biological productivity
You
may send your manuscript now or by 31 July 2008. For review papers,
the title and a short abstract can be sent to me as soon as possible.
We would
like to invite you or your other coworkers and researchers to
contribute
papers.
Best
wishes,
