Combined Effects of Precipitation and Temperature on the Responses of Forest Spring Phenology to Winter Snow Cover Dynamics in Northeast China [PDF]

IEEE Access, 2019
The start date of vegetation growing season (SOS) is generally considered as an essential indicator to reflect vegetation growth condition. To date, relatively little research has explored the combined effects of temperature and precipitation on the ...

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.

Characterizing ecosystem phenological diversity and its macroecology with snow cover phenology. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
AbstractOne critical challenge of exploring flora phenology is on characterizing ecosystem phenological diversity (EPD), and thus how EPD’s performance is influenced by climate changes has also been an open macro-ecological question. To fill these two gaps, we proposed an innovative method for reflecting EPD, by taking the advantage of the often ...

Changes in Snow Phenology from 1979 to 2016 over the Tianshan Mountains, Central Asia [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2019
Snowmelt from the Tianshan Mountains (TS) is a major contributor to the water resources of the Central Asian region. Thus, changes in snow phenology over the TS have significant implications for regional water supplies and ecosystem services.

Snow cover phenology dataset over global mountain regions from 2000 to 2023. [PDF]

Data Brief
Monitoring temporal and spatial changes in the mountain seasonal snowpack is a key step to better quantify the impact of recent climate warming on this very sensitive environment. In this context, to support the research on large scale, there is an urgent need of consistent and accurate data sets over global mountain regions.

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).

Assessing the Response of the Net Primary Productivity to Snow Phenology Changes in the Tibetan Plateau: Trends and Environmental Drivers

Remote Sensing
Understanding the relationship between climate, snow cover, and vegetation Net Primary Productivity (NPP) in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is crucial. However, the role of snow cover in influencing the NPP remains unclear.

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.
