Remotely sensed phenology reveals environmental and management controls on coastal wetland plant communities

Ecological Informatics
Plant phenology is often used as an indicator of ecological processes and responses to changing environmental conditions. Remote sensing enables phenological monitoring across space and time, yet separating vegetation composition or environmental drivers

Differential effects of climatic and non-climatic factors on the distribution of vegetation phenology trends on the Tibetan plateau

, 2023
The study of vegetation phenology changes is important because it is a sensitive indicator of climate change, affecting the exchange of carbon, energy and water fluxes between the land and the atmosphere.

Forest Vapor Pressure Deficit Sensitivity: A Potential Indicator of Soil Carbon Stability Under Atmospheric Drying

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This Short Report examines an underexplored link between atmospheric drying and soil organic carbon (SOC) stability. Rising atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is becoming an increasingly important hydroclimatic stressor for terrestrial ecosystems.

Petrocosmea wentsaii sp. nov. (Gesneriaceae) from Guizhou, China

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Petrocosmea wentsaii M.Q. Han, Miao.M. Wang & Yan Liu, a new species from Guizhou, China, is described and illustrated. Petrocosmea wentsaii was found on damp walls in a huge limestone cave. It is most similar to Petrocosmea hexiensis S.Z. Zhang & Z.Y. Liu in the conformation of the corolla.

How Important is Vegetation Phenology for European Climate and Heat Waves? [PDF]

, 2013
It has been hypothesized that vegetation phenology may play an important role for the midlatitude climate. This study investigates the impact of interannual and intraseasonal variations in phenology on European climate using regional climate model ...

Lasianthus phucanhensis sp. nov. (Rubiaceae) from Vietnam

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Lasianthus phucanhensis (Rubiaceae), a new species from Hoa Binh Province, northwestern Vietnam, is described and illustrated. In addition, the opportunity is taken to review the typification of all Lasianthus spp. from Vietnam. Three lectotypes are selected for Lasianthus kamputensis Pierre ex Pit., Lasianthus dinhensis Pierre ex Pit.

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

Remote 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
