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.

No Consistent Evidence for Advancing or Delaying Trends in Spring Phenology on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

, 2017
Vegetation phenology is a sensitive indicator of climate change and has significant effects on the exchange of carbon, water, and energy between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere.

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 ...

Can snow depth be used to predict the distribution of the high Arctic aphid Acyrthosiphon svalbardicum (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on Spitsbergen?

BMC Ecology, 2011
Background The Svalbard endemic aphid Acyrthosiphon svalbardicum (Heikinheimo, 1968) is host specific to Dryas octopetala L. ssp octopetala (Rosaceae).

Facultative Altitudinal Movements by Mountain White-Crowned Sparrows (Zonotrichia Leucophrys Oriantha) in the Sierra Nevada [PDF]

, 2004
Mountain White-crowned Sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys oriantha) winter in Mexico and often arrive in the vicinity of their breeding grounds in the Sierra Nevada well before nesting is possible.

Unraveling Effect of Snow Cover on Spring Vegetation Phenology across Different Vegetation Types in Northeast China

Remote Sensing, 2023
Snow cover has significantly changed due to global warming in recent decades, causing large changes in the vegetation ecosystem. However, the impact of snow cover changes on the spring phenology of different vegetation types in Northeast China remains ...

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

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 ...

Temperature-dominated spatiotemporal variability in snow phenology on the Tibetan Plateau from 2002 to 2022

The Cryosphere
. A detailed understanding of snow cover and its possible feedback on climate change on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is of great importance. However, spatiotemporal variability in snow phenology (SP) and its influencing factors on the TP remain unclear ...
