Spatiotemporal variation in snow cover and its effects on grassland phenology on the Mongolian Plateau [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Arid Land, 2021
Snow cover is an important water source for vegetation growth in arid and semi-arid areas, and grassland phenology provides valuable information on the response of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change. The Mongolian Plateau features both abundant snow cover resources and typical grassland ecosystems.

Altitude‐dependent influence of snow cover on alpine land surface phenology [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research G: Biogeosciences, 2017
AbstractSnow cover impacts alpine land surface phenology in various ways, but our knowledge about the effect of snow cover on alpine land surface phenology is still limited. We studied this relationship in the European Alps using satellite‐derived metrics of snow cover phenology (SCP), namely, first snow fall, last snow day, and snow cover duration ...

Spring Temperature and Snow Cover Climatology Drive the Advanced Springtime Phenology (1991–2014) in the European Alps [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research G: Biogeosciences, 2021
AbstractShifts in phenology are important traces of climate change affecting mountainous ecosystems. We present an analysis of changes in spring phenology using a suite of Earth observation based parameters, that is, start of season (SOS), snow cover extent and meteorological variables from 1991 up to 2012/2014 for the European Alps.

Ground observed climatology and trend in snow cover phenology across China with consideration of snow-free breaks

Climate Dynamics, 2020
Accurate understanding of snow cover phenology and its changes is important to hydrological processes and climate system. Having recognized the potential uncertainties in remote sensing snow cover products, we used daily snow depth observations from 514 meteorological stations across China to investigate the spatiotemporal variations in snow cover ...

Diverse Responses of Vegetation Dynamics to Snow Cover Phenology over the Boreal Region [PDF]

open access: yesForests, 2019
Snow cover phenology plays an important role in vegetation dynamics over the boreal region, but the observed evidence of this interaction is limited. A comprehensive understanding of the changes in vegetation dynamics and snow cover phenology as well as the interactions between them is urgently needed. To investigate this, we calculated two indicators,

Spatiotemporal variations of alpine climate, snow cover and phenology

2017 9th International Workshop on the Analysis of Multitemporal Remote Sensing Images (MultiTemp), 2017
Understanding the relationships between vegetation phenology and its seasonal drivers under varying site conditions is of high interest in mountain areas, since alpine ecosystems are assumed to be particularly sensitive to climatic changes. Through the joint analysis of NDVI, snow metrics, and climate data at 250 m and 2 km spatial resolution ...

The confounding effect of snow cover on assessing spring phenology from space: A new look at trends on the Tibetan Plateau

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
The Tibetan Plateau is the highest and largest plateau in the world, hosting unique alpine grassland and having a much higher snow cover than any other region at the same latitude, thus representing a "climate change hot-spot". Land surface phenology characterizes the timing of vegetation seasonality at the per-pixel level using remote sensing systems.
