Abstract As the upward trend in extreme drought continues with climate change, terrestrial vegetation growth is assumed to become largely reduced. We investigated anomalies of remote sensing vegetation indexes under droughts across the upper Yangtze River (UYR) basin, characterized as humid but having experienced frequent seasonal droughts from 2000 ...

Forests will play a key role in meeting biodiversity targets. We show that satellite and LiDAR data fusion can predict potential forest conservation value with high accuracy (82%) across Denmark. Abstract Forest ecosystems will play a critical role in achieving policy targets for biodiversity and conservation, such as those set out in the EU ...

Abstract Influenced by climate change, numerous lakes in permafrost regions are draining, showing significant spatial variability. This study focuses on St. Lawrence Island, where over the last two decades, 771 of 3,271 lakes have drained—a rate around 40 times higher than across the entire northern permafrost region.

Extending Canadian forest disturbance history maps prior to 1985
Abstract An accurate depiction of wildfire, harvesting, and insect outbreak disturbances is essential for sustainable ecosystem management of forests in Canada. Even though the advent of temporally consistent 30‐m resolution Landsat data has enabled the detailed mapping of forest disturbances in Canada from 1985 onward, the disturbance record prior to ...

The RITAS algorithm: a constructive yield monitor data processing algorithm [PDF]
Yield monitor datasets are known to contain a high percentage of unreliable records. The current tool set is mostly limited to observation cleaning procedures based on heuristic or empirically-motivated statistical rules for extreme value identification ...

Monitoring forest structure complexity is essential to ensure forest resilience due to increasing pressures of global warming, biodiversity loss and disturbances. Spaceborne remote sensing time‐series enable continuous monitoring of forest conditions and are integrated in the present study for the assessment of various deadwood structures and light ...

Spatio‐Temporal Dynamics of Aboveground Biomass in China's Oasis Grasslands Between 1989 and 2021
Abstract Grassland provides multiple ecosystem services and plays a key role in preventing desert encroachment and maintaining oasis stability. In China, the area of cropland in oases has expanded significantly in recent decades, which results in a rapid increase in agricultural water demand and encroachment on grassland subsistence space. However, our

Historical Mangrove Changes on Bangka Island Derived from Thirty Years of Landsat Data
Bangka’s mangroves contribute to Indonesia’s species-rich coastal ecosystems, yet they have experienced substantial degradation, largely driven by human activities such as tin mining.

Large-scale vegetation loss induced by surface coal mining constitutes a critical driver of regional ecological degradation. However, the applicability of existing change detection methodologies based on remote sensing within complex mining areas under diverse climatic conditions remains systematically unverified.
