Response of vegetation phenology to urbanization in the conterminous United States

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, 2016
AbstractThe influence of urbanization on vegetation phenology is gaining considerable attention due to its implications for human health, cycling of carbon and other nutrients in Earth system. In this study, we examined the relationship between change in vegetation phenology and urban size, an indicator of urbanization, for the conterminous United ...

Remote Sensing-Based Phenology of Dryland Vegetation: Contributions and Perspectives in the Southern Hemisphere

open access: yes
Leaf phenology is key to ecosystem functioning by regulating carbon, water, and energy fluxes and influencing vegetation productivity. Yet, detecting land surface phenology (LSP) in drylands using remote sensing remains particularly challenging due to ...

Earlier Spring-Summer Phenology and Higher Photosynthetic Peak Altered the Seasonal Patterns of Vegetation Productivity in Alpine Ecosystems

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Carbon uptake of vegetation is controlled by phenology and photosynthetic carbon uptake capacity. However, our knowledge of the seasonal responses of vegetation productivity to phenological and physiological changes in alpine ecosystems is still weak. In

Improving vegetation phenological parameterization of a land surface model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Abstract. The growing degree day (GDD) model and the growing season index (GSI) model are two common approaches used in various land surface models (LSMs) for simulating phenophases. The capacity of these two models for simulating phenolphases was evaluated by coupling them to a LSM (DLM: Dynamic Land Model) and validated by observation data from the ...

The Value of L-Band Soil Moisture and Vegetation Optical Depth Estimates in the Prediction of Vegetation Phenology

open access: yes, 2021
Vegetation phenology is a key ecosystem characteristic that is sensitive to environmental conditions. Here, we examined the utility of soil moisture (SM) and vegetation optical depth (VOD) observations from NASA’s L-band Soil Moisture Active Passive ...

Pinguicula brendae (Lentibulariaceae) sp. nov., a carnivorous plant from a tropical montane cloud forest in Hidalgo, Mexico

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species of Lentibulariaceae, Pinguicula brendae Rodríguez‐Ramírez, H.Shimai & A.R. Andrés‐Hernández, is described based on its unique morphological characteristics. This species is restricted to limestone rock walls in the San Bartolo Tutotepec municipality, central‐eastern Hidalgo, Mexico, where it inhabits a single locality on vertical, north ...

Exploring Vegetation Phenology At Continental Scales: Linking Temperature-Based Indices And Land Surface Phenological Metrics

open access: yes, 2017
Phenology is thes cience that studies the timings of recurring biological events such as leafing and blooming as well as their causes and variations in space and time. Spatially explicit environmental datasets and are key to understand phenological dynamics at continental to global scales.
