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.

Land surface phenology as an indicator of biodiversity patterns [PDF]
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.

Land Surface Phenology in the Tropics: The Role of Climate and Topography in a Snow-Free Mountain [PDF]
Leaf phenology represents a major temporal component of ecosystem functioning, and understanding the drivers of seasonal variation in phenology is essential to understand plant responses to climate change.

The timing of vegetation spring onset is largely influenced by climate factors, making it sensitive to climate variation. Robust models that predict vegetation spring onset via the climate forcing data are needed in the land surface models for ...

Improving vegetation phenological parameterization of a land surface model [PDF]
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 ...

Impacts of Thermal Time on Land Surface Phenology in Urban Areas [PDF]
Urban areas alter local atmospheric conditions by modifying surface albedo and consequently the surface radiation and energy balances, releasing waste heat from anthropogenic uses, and increasing atmospheric aerosols, all of which combine to increase temperatures in cities, especially overnight, compared with surrounding rural areas, resulting in a ...

Estimating and Monitoring Land Surface Phenology in Rangelands: A Review of Progress and Challenges [PDF]
Land surface phenology (LSP) has been extensively explored from global archives of satellite observations to track and monitor the seasonality of rangeland ecosystems in response to climate change. Long term monitoring of LSP provides large potential for the evaluation of interactions and feedbacks between climate and vegetation.

Land surface phenological response to decadal climate variability across Australia using satellite remote sensing [PDF]
Land surface phenological cycles of vegetation greening and browning are influenced by variability in climatic forcing. Quantitative spatial information on phenological cycles and their variability is important for agricultural applications, wildfire ...

Characterising the Land Surface Phenology of Europe Using Decadal MERIS Data [PDF]
Land surface phenology (LSP), the study of the timing of recurring cycles of changes in the land surface using time-series of satellite sensor-derived vegetation indices, is a valuable tool for monitoring vegetation at global and continental scales. Characterisation of LSP and its spatial variation is required to reveal and predict ongoing changes in ...
