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 ...

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 ...

Made in the shade: Leaf responses of native wildflowers to single‐axis photovoltaic solar energy
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.As solar energy expands globally, balancing renewable power generation with biodiversity and ecosystem health has become an urgent challenge. This study investigated how native wildflowers respond at leaf level to the unique microclimates created by rotating solar panels in California's Central Valley.

Land surface phenologies and seasonalities using cool earthlight in mid-latitude croplands
Environmental Research Letters, 2013 Phenology deals with timing of biotic phenomena and seasonality concerns temporal patterns of abiotic variables. Studies of land surface phenology (LSP) and land surface seasonality (LSS) have long been limited to visible to near infrared (VNIR ...

Complex responses of spring vegetation growth to climate in a moisture-limited alpine meadow. [PDF]
, 2016 Since 2000, the phenology has advanced in some years and at some locations on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, whereas it has been delayed in others. To understand the variations in spring vegetation growth in response to climate, we conducted both regional ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Utility‐scale solar energy (USSE) development generates novel questions regarding coupling clean energy production with terrestrial ecosystem services (e.g., forage production, pollinator support). We found that a USSE array sited in a fallowed cropland maintained a reseeded native plant community even a decade post‐restoration and that the array ...
