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

Slug grazing effects on seedling and adult life stages of North American Prairie plants used in designed urban landscapes [PDF]
, 2011 Designed vegetation is a major contributor to ecosystem service provision incities, and as such the study of how herbivory and other ecological factors determine its capacity to deliver such services, is long overdue.

Validating Satellite‐Derived Vegetation Phenology Products
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2013 The phenology of terrestrial vegetation, i.e., the timing of events such as bud burst, leaf development, and senescence, plays an important role in the global climate system, biogeochemical cycles, and energy budget. Satellite‐derived vegetation indices have long been used as proxies for representing the status of terrestrial vegetation, and hence, the

Urbanization Impacts on Vegetation Phenology in China [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2018 Urbanization can affect the ecological processes, local climate and human health in urban areas by changing the vegetation phenology. In the past 20 years, China has experienced rapid urbanization. Thus, it is imperative to understand the impact of urbanization on vegetation phenology in China.
