Understanding the Snow Cover Climatology over Turkey from ERA5-Land Reanalysis Data and MODIS Snow Cover Frequency Product

Geosciences, 2023
Understanding the distribution, patterns, and characteristics of snowfall and snow cover within a given region over extended periods is important. Snow climatology provides valuable insights into the seasonal and long-term variations in snowfall, helping

RESPONSE OF ALPINE GRASSLAND VEGETATION PHENOLOGY TO SNOW ACCUMULATION AND MELT IN NAMCO BASIN [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018
Snow/ice accumulation and melt, as a vital part of hydrological processes, is close related with vegetation activities. Taking Namco basin for example, based on multisource remote sensing data and the ground observation data of temperature and ...

Using by‐catch data from wildlife surveys to quantify climatic parameters and timing of phenology for plants and animals using camera traps

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Gaining a better understanding of global environmental change is an important challenge for conserving biodiversity. Shifts in phenology are an important consequence of environmental change.

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Increase in plant productivity in the tundra in Sweden is not related to increasing presence of warm‐adapted vascular plant species

Ecography, EarlyView.
Over the past decades, Arctic and alpine biomes have warmed faster than the global average. Substantial vegetation changes have been reported as a response to this warming, including increased productivity and the spread of warm‐adapted (thermophilic) species that are less resistant to grazing pressure into higher latitudes and altitudes.

Topography constrains the climatic response of treeline migration in Taiwan's subalpine forests

Ecography, EarlyView.
Treelines are moving upslope, but the rates and drivers differ among different regions, globally. Many studies have examined the relationship between treeline movement and climate change, particularly rising temperature, while the role of topographical factors has received much less attention, despite the longstanding recognition of its importance.

Impacts of snow cover duration on vegetation spring phenology over the Tibetan Plateau

Journal of Plant Ecology, 2018
Snow cover occupies large percentage of land surface in Tibetan Plateau. Snow cover duration (SCD) during non-growing seasons plays a critical role in regulating alpine vegetation’s phenology by affecting the energy budgets of land surface and soil moisture conditions.

Interplay between snow phenology and vegetation phenology in Alaska under climate change

Advances in Climate Change Research
Snow cover is one of the most important factors controlling Arctic ecosystems' microclimate and plant growth conditions in Arctic ecosystems. Climate change has impacted the timing and spatial variability of both snow cover, and worldwide vegetation ...
