Informing grassland ecosystem modeling with in-situ and remote sensing observations by Johny Arteaga, Melannie D Hartman, William J Parton, Maosi Chen, Wei Gao

“…For this study we developed new methods for informing DayCent-UV of growing season length and validating its plant productivity estimates for grasslands by utilizing a wide range of data sources at multiple scales, from field observations to remotely sensed satellite data. The model’s phenology was informed by the MODIS MCD12Q2 product, which showed good agreement with in-situ observations of growing season commencement and duration across different grassland ecosystems, and with observed historical trends. …”
