Linear trends in seasonal vegetation time series and the modifiable temporal unit problem [PDF]
, 2012 Time series of vegetation indices (VI) derived from satellite imagery provide a consistent monitoring system for terrestrial plant productivity. They enable detection and quantification of gradual changes within the time frame covered, which are of ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Accurately measuring biodiversity change remains a central challenge in ecology. Beyond the general idea of quantifying temporal species frequency changes, several sampling‐related biases in data collection remain key methodological challenges to consider. Long‐term standardized ecological data are rare, and most available datasets exhibit considerable

The footprint of urban climates on vegetation phenology
Geophysical Research Letters, 2004 Human activity, through changing land use and other activities, is the most fundamental source of environmental change on the Earth. Urbanization and the resultant “urban heat islands” provide a means for evaluating the effect of climate warming on vegetation phenology.

Ecography, EarlyView.Long‐distance seed dispersal by ocean currents plays a critical role in structuring coastal plant communities. As direct observations of this phenomenon are infeasible, numerical modeling is a valuable tool. Here, we use Lagrangian particle tracking to examine the colonization of the newly forming island Norderoogsand (German Bight, Wadden Sea) by five

Vegetation phenology and its ecohydrological implications from individual to global scales
Geography and Sustainability, 2022 The Earth is experiencing unprecedented climate change. Vegetation phenology has already showed strong response to the global warming, which alters mass and energy fluxes on terrestrial ecosystems.

Topography constrains the climatic response of treeline migration in Taiwan's subalpine forests
Ecography, EarlyView.Treelines are moving upslope, but the rates and drivers differ among different regions, globally. Many studies have examined the relationship between treeline movement and climate change, particularly rising temperature, while the role of topographical factors has received much less attention, despite the longstanding recognition of its importance.

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) and crop coefficients (Kc) is critical for irrigation planning, particularly in data‐limited regions where agriculture dominates freshwater consumption. Although machine learning (ML) methods have been widely applied to ET0 and Kc estimation, most studies address these parameters ...
