Coarse-Resolution Satellite Images Overestimate Urbanization Effects on Vegetation Spring Phenology
Numerous investigations of urbanization effects on vegetation spring phenology using satellite images have reached a consensus that vegetation spring phenology in urban areas occurs earlier than in surrounding rural areas.

A global reanalysis of vegetation phenology [PDF]
[1] Simulations of the global water and carbon cycle are sensitive to the model representation of vegetation phenology. Current phenology models are empirical, and few predict both phenological timing and leaf state. Our previous study demonstrated how satellite data assimilation employing an Ensemble Kalman Filter yields realistic phenological model ...

Vegetation Phenological Changes in Multiple Landforms and Responses to Climate Change
Vegetation phenology is highly sensitive to climate change, and the phenological responses of vegetation to climate factors vary over time and space. Research on the vegetation phenology in different climatic regimes will help clarify the key factors ...

Variation in Detecting \u3ci\u3eSchinia Indiana\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eSchinia Lucens\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Wisconsin [PDF]
Schinia indiana (Smith) and Schinia lucens (Morrison) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) are diurnal moths and are well camouflaged when perched on flowers of their larval food plants: Phlox pilosa L. (Polemoniaceae) and Amorpha(Fabaceae), respectively.
