Ecosystem transpiration
This project quantifies the impact of the severe European drought 2018 on transpiration rates and across European ecosystems. A Penman-Monteith based approach in combination with Sentinel-3 satellite optical and ECMFW (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) meteorological data. Resulting estimates of transpiration anomalies are related to various abiotic and biotic diver to gain understanding on causal mechanisms and eventually provide guidance and tools for precision agriculture, forest management, and water resources management.
