Snow Cover Phenology Change and Response to Climate in China during 2000–2020
Remote Sensing, 2022 Snow cover phenology (SCP) is critical to the climate system. China has the most comprehensive snow cover distribution in the middle and low latitudes and has shown dramatic changes over the past few decades. However, the spatiotemporal characteristics of SCP parameters and their sensitivity to meteorological factors (temperature and precipitation ...

Sea ice and snow phenology in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago from 1997 to 2018
Arctic Science, 2021 The multiple islands and narrow channels that form the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) complicate snow/ice monitoring, as coarse resolution satellite observations are unable to resolve smaller-scale changes in snow/ice cover. We present the first study

Natural Enemies of Alfalfa Weevil, \u3ci\u3eHypera Postica\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in Minnesota [PDF]
, 2017 Alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica, is present throughout Minnesota. How- ever, economically damaging populations seldom occur, due to a combination of natural enemies and adverse climatic conditions.

Movement Ecology, 2022 Background Migration is a widespread strategy among ungulates to cope with seasonality. Phenology, especially in seasonally snow-covered landscapes featuring “white waves” of snow accumulation and “green waves” of plant green-up, is a phenomenon that ...

Climate change at the ecosystem scale: a 50-year record in New Hampshire [PDF]
, 2012 Observing the full range of climate change impacts at the local scale is difficult. Predicted rates of change are often small relative to interannual variability, and few locations have sufficiently comprehensive long-term records of environmental ...

Recent changes in pan-Arctic sea ice, lake ice, and snow-on/off timing [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Arctic snow and ice cover are vital indicators of climate variability and change, yet while the Arctic shows overall warming and dramatic changes in snow and ice cover, the response of these high-latitude regions to recent climatic change varies ...

Relative Influence of Timing and Accumulation of Snow on Alpine Land Surface Phenology [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2018 AbstractTiming and accumulation of snow are among the most important phenomena influencing land surface phenology in mountainous ecosystems. However, our knowledge on their influence on alpine land surface phenology is still limited, and much remains unclear as to which snow metrics are most relevant for studying this interaction.

Effects of snow manipulation on larch trees in the taiga forest ecosystem in northeastern Siberia
Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022 Changes in winter precipitation (snow) may greatly affect vegetation by altering hydrological and biochemical processes. To understand the effects of changing snow cover depth and melt timing on the taiga forest ecosystem, a snow manipulation experiment ...
