Spatiotemporal Characteristics and Heterogeneity of Vegetation Phenology in the Yangtze River Delta
Vegetation phenology and its spatiotemporal driving factors are essential to reflect global climate change, the surface carbon cycle and regional ecology, and further quantitative studies on spatiotemporal heterogeneity and its two-way driving are needed.

Global Assessment of Cumulative and Time-Lag Effects of Drought on Land Surface Phenology
Increased frequency and intensity of droughts under climate change will have a significant impact on land surface phenology, however, the drought-phenology interactions that are associated with complex temporal effects are not well understood. This study

Implementation of a new crop phenology and irrigation scheme in the ISBA land surface model using SURFEX_v8.1 [PDF]
With an increase in the number of natural processes represented, global land surface models (LSMs) have become more and more accurate in representing natural terrestrial ecosystems.

Impact of Snowpack on the Land Surface Phenology in the Tianshan Mountains, Central Asia
The accumulation and ablation processes of seasonal snow significantly affect the land surface phenology in a mountainous ecosystem. However, the ability of snow to regulate the alpine land surface phenology in the arid regions is not well described in ...

Detecting and predicting spatial and interannual patterns of temperate forest springtime phenology in the eastern U.S. [PDF]
We performed a diagnostic analysis of AVHRR-NDVI and gridded, temperature data for the deciduous forests of the eastern U.S., calibrating temperature accumulation model with satellite data for 1982–1993.

Global land surface phenology trends from GIMMS database [PDF]
A double logistic function has been used to describe global inventory mapping and monitoring studies (GIMMS) normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) yearly evolution for the 1981 to 2003 period, in order to estimate land surface phenology parameter.

Modelling fire occurrence at regional scale. Does vegetation phenology matter? [PDF]
Through its influence on biomass production, climate controls fuel availability affecting at the same time fuel moisture and flammability, which are the main determinants for fire ignition and propagation.

War, Drought, and Phenology: Changes in the Land Surface Phenology of Afghanistan Since 1982 [PDF]
War and resulting institutional changes can be important drivers of land use and land cover change. We explore how war, its consequences, and drought have affected the land surface phenology (LSP) of Afghanistan. Afghanistan offers a unique case of a semi-arid country with multiple institutional changes during the past two decades.
