Evaluating Remote Sensing Metrics for Land Surface Phenology in Peatlands [PDF]

Vegetation phenology is an important indicator of climate change and ecosystem productivity. However, the monitoring of vegetation generative phenology through remote sensing techniques does not allow for species-specific retrieval in mixed ecosystems ...

Land Surface Phenology in Global Change Studies

As of this writing, there are two global phenology products in the twentyfirst century at 500 m spatial resolution. Here we present a comparative analysis of the mid-green-up phenometric from these standard VIIRS and MODIS products for the year 2022. We evaluate the results by ecoregion and biome and report linear regression results to compare on the ...

Land surface phenology for the characterization of Mediterranean permanent grasslands

Precision Agriculture
The provision of ecosystem services from Mediterranean permanent grasslands is threatened due to shifting management practices and environmental pressures. This observational study tested the hypothesis that Land Surface Phenology (LSP) parameters from high-resolution satellite data can characterize various permanent grasslands to support conservation ...

Peri‐urban agroforestry for climate mitigation in West Africa: Structural diversity and functional traits as key drivers of carbon storage

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Peri‐urban areas in West Africa are expanding rapidly, often with limited planning and growing exposure to climate risks. Our study shows that agroforestry systems in these landscapes, especially diverse home gardens, can store substantial amounts of carbon when they include structurally complex stands and species with traits that favor biomass ...

Multiple barriers maintain species boundaries in sympatric brood‐site deceptive Gastrodia orchids

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Gastrodia orchids are inconspicuous forest plants that lack chlorophyll and obtain carbon from fungi. Their dull‐colored, ground‐level flowers are often hidden among leaf litter, yet they rely on small flies for pollination.

Plant phenology evaluation of CRESCENDO land surface models using satellite-derived Leaf Area Index – Part 2: Seasonal trough, peak, and amplitude [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Leaf area index is an important metric for characterising the structure of vegetation canopies and scaling up leaf and plant processes to assess their influence on regional and global climate. Earth observation estimates of leaf area index have increased

Remote Sensing of Land Surface Phenology: Progress, Challenges, Prospects

The process of observing land surface phenology (or LSP) using remote sensing satellites is fundamentally different from ground level observation of phenophase transitions of specific organisms. The scale disparity between the spatial extent of the organisms and the spatial resolution of the sensor leads to an ill-defined mixture of targets and ...
