Coupled modelling of land surface microwave interactions using ENVISAT ASAR data [PDF]

, 2004
In the last decades microwave remote sensing has proven its capability to provide valuable information about the land surface. New sensor generations as e.g. ENVISAT ASAR are capable to provide frequent imagery with an high information content.

Comparative analysis of global urban land surface phenology between the MODIS and VIIRS products and extraction methods [PDF]

The reliability of land surface phenology (LSP) derived from satellite remote sensing is crucial for obtaining accurate estimates of the phenological response of vegetation to future climate change in urban ecosystems.

Altitude-dependent influence of snow cover on alpine land surface phenology [PDF]

, 2017
Snow cover impacts alpine land surface phenology in various ways, but our knowledge about the effect of snow cover on alpine land surface phenology is still limited.

Challenging a Global Land Surface Model in a Local Socio-Environmental System

Land, 2020
Land surface models (LSMs) predict how terrestrial fluxes of carbon, water, and energy change with abiotic drivers to inform the other components of Earth system models.

Spatiotemporal Analysis of Land Surface Plant Phenology

Journal of Agricultural, Biological and Environmental Statistics
Abstract Plant phenology is the study of cyclic and seasonal plant life developmental stages and is used by scientists and policy-makers to understand agricultural management practices, climate change effects, and ecosystem processes.

Portulaca abscondita (Portulacaceae, Caryophyllales), a new microendemic species from Monte Azul, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Portulaca (Portulacaceae) is a cosmopolitan genus with centers of diversity in Africa and South America. In Brazil, 22 species are recognized, most occurring in xerophytic environments of the Cerrado, particularly in Campos Rupestres. These rocky montane habitats, especially in northern Minas Gerais state, remain undercollected despite their high ...

Guapira leucophylla (Nyctaginaceae, Caryophyllales), a new species from the northern Espinhaço Range of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Guapira Aubl. (Nyctaginaceae, Pisonieae) comprises dioecious shrubs and trees widely distributed in the Neotropics and occupying diverse habitats. In the Brazilian Cerrado, the genus occurs in several phytophysiognomies, including Campos Rupestres, a montane rock ecosystem with high levels of endemism but still marked by significant gaps in botanical ...

Eriope barrinhae (Lamiaceae, Hyptidinae), a new montane species from northern Minas Gerais, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
In northern Minas Gerais, in the Monte Azul region, the Pico da Formosa mountain remains poorly explored botanically despite recent discoveries of new taxa. During fieldwork at the summit of this mountain, we discovered a distinctive population of Eriope that differs from all known species by a unique combination of morphological characters.

The Coexistence of Trees, Shrubs, and Grasses Creates a Complex Picture of Land Surface Phenology in Dry Tropical Ecosystems

Remote Sensing
The use of digital cameras to monitor vegetation phenology (phenocams) has become increasingly common as a means of ground truthing estimates of land surface phenology from Earth observation data.
