Impact of Snow on Vegetation Green-Up on the Mongolian Plateau [PDF]

Plants
Snow serves as a crucial water source for vegetation growth on the Mongolian Plateau, and its temporal and spatial variations exert profound influences on terrestrial vegetation phenology.

From individual to population level: Temperature and snow cover modulate fledging success through breeding phenology in greylag geese (Anser anser) [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
Local weather conditions may be used as environmental cues by animals to optimize their breeding behaviour, and could be affected by climate change. We measured associations between climate, breeding phenology, and reproductive output in greylag geese ...

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

Journal 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.

Variability in snow cover phenology in China from 1952 to 2010 [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2016
Abstract. Daily snow observation data from 672 stations in China, particularly the 296 stations with over 10 mean snow cover days (SCDs) in a year during the period of 1952–2010, are used in this study. We first examine spatiotemporal variations and trends of SCDs, snow cover onset date (SCOD), and snow cover end date (SCED).

Phenological Responses to Snow Seasonality in the Qilian Mountains Is a Function of Both Elevation and Vegetation Types

Remote Sensing, 2022
In high-elevation mountains, seasonal snow cover affects land surface phenology and the functioning of the ecosystem. However, studies regarding the long-term effects of snow cover on phenological changes for high mountains are still limited.

Declining snow cover may affect spring phenological trend on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013
Zhang et al. (1) report that the Tibetan Plateau experienced a continuous advancing start of green-up date (SOS) from 1982 to 2011 based on the merged Global Inventory Modeling and Mapping Studies (GIMMS)-based with Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [Systeme Pour l’Observation de la Terre vegetation (SPOT-VGT)]-based SOSs.

Spatiotemporal Variation of Snow Cover and Its Response to Climate Change in the Source Region of the Yangtze River, China

Atmosphere, 2022
In the context of global warming, snow cover changes have an extremely important impact on the hydrological cycle and the redistribution of water resources in arid and semi-arid regions.
