This study used NASA\u2019s Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) Level 4 carbon products, gross primary productivity (GPP), and net ecosystem exchange (NEE) to quantify their spatial and temporal variabilities for selected terrestrial ecosystems across Texas during the 2015\u20132018 study period. These SMAP carbon products are available at 9 km spatial resolution on a daily basis. The ten selected SMAP grids are located in seven climate zones and dominated by five major land uses (developed, crop, forest, pasture, and shrub). Results showed CO2 emissions and uptake were affected by land-use and climatic conditions across Texas. It was also observed that climatic conditions had more impact on CO2 emissions and uptake than land-use in this state. On average, South Central Plains and East Central Texas Plains ecoregions of East Texas and Western Gulf Coastal Plain ecoregion of Upper Coast climate zones showed higher GPP flux and potential carbon emissions and uptake than other climate zones across the state, whereas shrubland on the Trans Pecos climate zone showed lower GPP flux and carbon emissions\/uptake. Comparison of GPP and NEE distribution maps between 2015 and 2018 confirmed substantial changes in carbon emissions and uptake across Texas. These results suggest that SMAP carbon products can be used to study the terrestrial carbon cycle at regional to global scales. Overall, this study helps to understand the impacts of climate, land-use, and ecosystem dynamics on the terrestrial carbon cycle.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11141733","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,23]],"date-time":"2019-07-23T10:44:51Z","timestamp":1563878691000},"page":"1733","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Quantifying the Impacts of Land-Use and Climate on Carbon Fluxes Using Satellite Data across Texas, U.S."],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7833-9253","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ram L.","family":"Ray","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooperative Agricultural Research Center, College of Agriculture and Human Sciences, Prairie View A&amp;M University, Prairie View, TX 77446, USA"}]},{"given":"Ademola","family":"Ibironke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Roy G, Perry College of Engineering, Prairie View A&amp;M University, Prairie View, TX 77446, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3267-6684","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raghava","family":"Kommalapati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Roy G, Perry College of Engineering, Prairie View A&amp;M University, Prairie View, TX 77446, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9255-7564","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Fares","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooperative Agricultural Research Center, College of Agriculture and Human Sciences, Prairie View A&amp;M University, Prairie View, TX 77446, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"222","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2008.04.050","article-title":"The response of terrestrial ecosystems to global climate change: Towards an integrated approach","volume":"404","author":"Rustad","year":"2008","journal-title":"Sci.
