Transition from connected to fragmented vegetation across an environmental gradient: scaling laws in ecotone geometry [PDF]
, 2009 A change in the environmental conditions across space—for example, altitude or latitude—can cause significant changes in the density of a vegetation type and, consequently, in spatial connectivity.

Changing patterns of global-scale vegetation photosynthesis, 1982-1999 [PDF]
, 2005 The primary objective of this research was to assess changes in global vegetation photosynthesis between 1982 and 1999. Global-scale Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data from the Pathfinder ...

Global Changes in Urban Vegetation Cover [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2019 Urban vegetation provides many ecosystem services that make cities more liveable for people. As the world continues to urbanise, the vegetation cover in urban areas is changing rapidly. Here we use Google Earth Engine to map vegetation cover in all urban areas larger than 15 km2 in 2000 and 2015, which covered 390,000 km2 and 490,000 km2 respectively ...

Acceleration of vegetation phenological changes
Global Change Biology, 2022 AbstractPiao et al. (2022) presents an interesting study on vegetation phenology from a novel angle. The study examined the speed of canopy development and senescence, or the “acceleration of vegetation phenological changes”, and investigated its relationship with the trend of vegetation greening/browning and the underlying climate driving factors.

Equilibrium responses of global net primary production and carbon storage to doubled atmospheric carbon dioxide: sensitivity to changes in vegetation nitrogen concentration [PDF]
, 1997 We ran the terrestrial ecosystem model (TEM) for the globe at 0.5° resolution for atmospheric CO2 concentrations of 340 and 680 parts per million by volume (ppmv) to evaluate global and regional responses of net primary production (NPP) and carbon ...

Responses of weed community, soil nutrients, and microbes to different weed management practices in a fallow field in Northern China [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 The long-term use of herbicides to remove weeds in fallow croplands can impair soil biodiversity, affect the quality of agricultural products, and threaten human health. Consequently, the identification of methods that can effectively limit the weed seed
