Season Spotter: Using Citizen Science to Validate and Scale Plant Phenology from Near-Surface Remote Sensing

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2016
The impact of a rapidly changing climate on the biosphere is an urgent area of research for mitigation policy and management. Plant phenology is a sensitive indicator of climate change and regulates the seasonality of carbon, water, and energy fluxes ...

Land surface phenologies and seasonalities using cool earthlight in mid-latitude croplands

open access: yesEnvironmental 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 ...

Land surface phenology in a West African savannah: impact of land use, land cover and fire

open access: yes, 2015
Phenological change and variation have become increasingly relevant topics in global change science due to recognition of their importance for ecosystem functioning and biogeophysical processes.

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

open access: yesBiogeosciences
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

Disentangling remotely-sensed plant phenology and snow seasonality at northern Europe using MODIS and the plant phenology index

open access: yes, 2017
Land surface phenology is frequently derived from remotely sensed data. However, over regions with seasonal snow cover, remotely-sensed land surface phenology may be dominated by snow seasonality, rather than showing true plant phenology.
