Juli 2011AcknowledgmentsI am grateful for discussions with many colleagues at the MPI for Biogeochemistryabout and beyond the subject of this thesis. I especially wish to thank MarkusReichstein for his trustful supervision. He was always efficient in sorting out myscientific confusions when help was needed and otherwise enabled and encour-aged me to shape this thesis work according to my own interests. Likewise, I amgrateful to Christiane Schmullius for her guidance regarding many aspects of thisthesis and for integrating me in her Earth Observation group as much as possible.I also appreciate the discussions on surface anisotropy with François-Marie Bréon.Parts of this thesis have—in modified form—been published in peer reviewed jour-nals (Goerner et al., 2009, 2011).
