Improving vegetation phenological parameterization of a land surface model [PDF]
, 2016 Abstract. The growing degree day (GDD) model and the growing season index (GSI) model are two common approaches used in various land surface models (LSMs) for simulating phenophases. The capacity of these two models for simulating phenolphases was evaluated by coupling them to a LSM (DLM: Dynamic Land Model) and validated by observation data from the ...

Predators do not spill over from forest fragments to maize fields in a landscape mosaic in central Argentina [PDF]
, 2017 South America is undergoing a rapid and large scale conversion of natural habitats to cultivated land. Ecosystem services (ESs) still remain important but their level and sustainability are not known.

Alternative methods to predict actual evapotranspiration illustrate the importance of accounting for phenology – Part 2: The event driven phenology model [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 Evapotranspiration (ET) flux constitutes a major component of both the water and energy balances at the land surface. Among the many factors that control evapotranspiration, phenology poses a major source of uncertainty in attempts to predict ET ...

Urbanization, environmental stabilization and temporal persistence of bird species: A view from Latin America [PDF]
, 2018 Background. A scarcely studied consequence of urbanization is the effect of temporal stabilization of the environment on bird communities. This alteration is thought to dampen environmental variations between day and night, seasons and years, promoting a

Land surface phenology as an indicator of biodiversity patterns [PDF]
Ecological Indicators, 2016 Abstract With the rapid decline in biodiversity worldwide it is imperative to develop procedures for assessing changes in biodiversity across space. The synoptic view provided by imaging remote sensors constitutes a suitable approach for analyzing biodiversity from local to regional scales.

Spatiotemporal Variability of Land Surface Phenology in China from 2001–2014
Remote Sensing, 2017 Land surface phenology is a highly sensitive and simple indicator of vegetation dynamics and climate change. However, few studies on spatiotemporal distribution patterns and trends in land surface phenology across different climate and vegetation types ...
