Response of Vegetation Photosynthetic Phenology to Urbanization in Dongting Lake Basin, China

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Urbanization can induce environmental changes such as the urban heat island effect, which in turn influence the terrestrial ecosystem. However, the effect of urbanization on the phenology of subtropical vegetation remains relatively unexplored.

Quantifying the impacts of diverse vegetation-covered patterns on hillslope soil erosion: a case experiment of alfalfa-covered hillslopes

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionThe discrepancies in near-soil-surface hydrologic processes triggered by herbage spatial distribution pattern greatly influence the variation in hillslope erosion process. However, knowledge about the influence of herbage spatial distribution

Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...

Snow and vegetation seasonality influence seasonal trends of leaf nitrogen and biomass in Arctic tundra

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Climate change, including both increasing temperatures and changing snow regimes, is progressing rapidly in the Arctic, leading to changes in plant phenology and in the seasonal patterns of plant properties, such as tissue nitrogen (N) content and ...

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

The Impact of Urbanization on Spatial–Temporal Variation in Vegetation Phenology: A Case Study of the Yangtze River Delta, China

open access: yesRemote Sensing
The response of vegetation phenology to urbanization has become a growing concern. As impervious surfaces change as urbanization advances, the variation in vegetation phenology at the dynamic urbanization level was analyzed to significantly quantify the ...
