MODIS land surface temperature, black sky albedo, and the enhanced vegetation index were retrieved from the NASA Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Centre (LP DAAC, https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/). Site-level data were retrieved from the FLUXNET (http://daac.ornl.gov/), IMECC (http://gaia.agraria.unitus.it/) and AMERIFLUX (http://ameriflux.ornl.gov/) databases. Christophe Moisy prepared Supplementary Fig. 1. S.L. , M.J. , J.O. , M.J.M., K. Naudts and J.R. were funded through ERC starting grant 242564 and received additional funding through FWO-Vlaanderen. M.J. received funding also through the Nordic Centre of Excellence, DEFROST, under the Nordic Top-Level Research Initiative and the Center for Permafrost, CENPERM DNRF number 100. T.K. and S.E. were funded through the Einstein Foundation and the European Commission (VOLANTE FP7-ENV-265104). K.H.E. acknowledges funding from ERC starting grant 263522 LUISE. E.C. and M.F. received funding from the European Commission, FEDER Interreg Iva, 723 POCTEFA08/34 and ADEME. M.W. acknowledges funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG) through the SPP1257 priority program, and the European Commission FP-7226701 (CARBO-Extreme) and FP7-244122 (GHG-Europe), also for A.J.D. P.C.S. acknowledges funding from the US NSF EF #1241881, the Marie Curie Incoming International Fellowship Programme, and the MT Institute on Ecosystems. The authors acknowledge the financial help of the European Commission through COST ES0805 for organizing the Potsdam workshop in support of this study, and the IMECC Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (I3) project under the 6th Framework Program (contract number 026188). This study contributes to the Global Land Project (http://www.globallandproject.org). International audience Anthropogenic changes to land cover (LCC) remain common, but continuing land scarcity promotes the widespread intensification of land management changes (LMC) to better satisfy societal demand for food, fibre, fuel and shelter. The biophysical effects of LCC on surface ...
