The Forest Change Footprint of the Upper Indus Valley, from 1990 to 2020

Remote Sensing, 2022
The upper Indus Valley is the most important and vulnerable water tower in the South Asian subcontinent, which provides a vital water supply for 230 million people in the basin. Forests play an important role in water conservation in this region, and the

Divergent Spatiotemporal Patterns and Climate Responses of Lateral and Internal Lake Drainage in the Northern Permafrost Region

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 16, 28 August 2025.
Abstract Lake drainage is a key manifestation of permafrost degradation with implications for hydrology, landscape dynamics and carbon feedbacks. Lake drainage occurs through two distinct mechanisms, namely lateral drainage and internal drainage. Here, we identified 3,969 lake drainage events from 2001 to 2020 across the northern permafrost region ...

Higher Sensitivity of L‐Band Vegetation Optical Depth to Foliage Than Total Aboveground Biomass

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 12, 28 June 2025.
Abstract L‐band vegetation optical depth (VOD) has been widely used to estimate spatiotemporal variations of forest biomass. However, the sensitivity of L‐VOD to different vegetation components, such as foliage and stems, remains poorly understood despite their distinct interannual variations.

Spatio‐Temporal Dynamics of Invasive Spartina Alterniflora and Its Functional Traits' Responding to Hydro‐Meteorology

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Coastal wetlands represent one of the most critical ecosystem types worldwide, and offer a diverse array of vital ecosystem services. Large‐scale and rapid invasion of Spartina alterniflora (S. alterniflora) has imposed significant impacts on coastal wetland ecosystems and biodiversity globally. Tracking dynamic trajectories of S. alterniflora

Natural Forest Restoration Potential to Mitigate Climate Change in China

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract China has achieved remarkable progress in forest conservation and restoration through extensive management efforts, including afforestation and the protection of natural forests. However, previous studies on forest carbon potential have primarily foucused on afforestation, while natural forest restoration‐recognized for its superior carbon ...

Interannual Monitoring of Cropland in South China from 1991 to 2020 Based on the Combination of Deep Learning and the LandTrendr Algorithm

Remote Sensing
Timely and accurate acquisition of spatial distribution and changes in cropland is of significant importance for food security and ecological preservation. Most studies that monitor long-term changes in cropland tend to overlook the rationality in the process of cropland evolution, and there are conflicts between the interannual cropland data, so they ...

Land Use Change Forcing Data Undermine the Modeling of China's Greening Efforts

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 5, 16 March 2025.
Abstract China has made extensive afforestation efforts over the past 40 years. However, ecosystem models simulate only modest vegetation enhancement, creating a significant disparity between documented reforestation efforts and model‐based simulations. This fundamental mismatch remains largely unexplored.

Spatial-temporal dynamics of transboundary forest disturbance-recovery and its influencing factors in the central Himalayas

Geocarto International, 2023
Transboundary forests in the Himalayas are one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots, but exploring the patterns and influencing factors related to forest disturbance-recovery is still limited.
