Sort of obvious. That’s why they are called “rain” forests. They don’t grow in the arid regions, do they? I wouldn’t think you'd need IPCC's help to figure that out, actually.Michael Tobishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229460438349093944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-61384094925836097792010-03-20T19:30:07.112-04:002010-03-20T19:30:07.112-04:00Makiko Sato is a woman?

In contrast to intact forests, areas converted to pasture showed dry-season declines in EVI-derived photosynthetic capacity, presumably because removal of deep-rooted forest trees reduced access to deep soil water. Local canopy photosynthesis measured from eddy flux towers in both a rainforest and forest conversion site confirm our interpretation of satellite data, and suggest that basin-wide carbon fluxes can be constrained by integrating remote sensing and local flux measurements.<br />Citation: Huete, A.

Within 90 minutes, and before anyone else who saw this password information thought it worth reporting to GISS staff, most if not all of the material in Makiko’s directory was purloined by someone using automated “web harvesting” software and re-posted elsewhere on the web.
