Higher absorbed solar radiation partly offset the negative effects of water stress on the photosynthesis of Amazon forests during the 2015 drought [PDF]
Amazon forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle and Earth\u27s climate. The vulnerability of Amazon forests to drought remains highly controversial.

Vegetation on the move: elevational shifts and greening dynamics across the Himalayan alpine zone
This study investigates alpine ‘vegetation line' (the upper limit of continuous plant community) dynamics in the Himalayan alpine zone (HAZ) over a 24‐year timescale (1999–2022) using maximum NDVI products derived from Landsat series datasets, adjusted for sampling bias using phenological modelling.

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.

Improving Remote Estimation of Vegetation Phenology Using GCOM-C/SGLI Land Surface Reflectance Data
Vegetation phenology not only describes the life cycle events of periodic plants during the growing season but also acts as an indicator of biological responses to climate change.

Growing Degree‐Day Trends Associated With ‘False Springs’ in the Continental United States
Earlier spring warming has increased growing degree‐day (GDD) accumulation prior to the last freeze at some US locations (red circles = stat. sig. increases). However, after accounting for spatial autocorrelation using a false discovery rate approach, few trends remain significant, indicating no coherent continental‐scale increase in false spring risk.

Interannual, seasonal, and diel variation in soil respiration relative to ecosystem respiration at a wetland to upland slope at Harvard Forest [PDF]
Soil carbon dioxide efflux (soil respiration, SR) was measured with eight autochambers at two locations along a wetland to upland slope at Harvard Forest over a 4 year period, 2003–2007.

Long‐Term Variability and Spatial Differentiation of the Frost‐Free Period in Iceland
Warming in Iceland (May–September) is expressed as fewer Tmin < 0°C days in the interior and more Tmin > 0°C days along the coasts. ABSTRACT Climate change in subarctic regions leads to significant transformations in thermal conditions; however, the long‐term variability of the frost‐free season (FFS)—and consequently, the growing period—remains poorly

Plant phenology and seasonal nitrogen availability in Arctic snowbed communities [PDF]
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2006This study was part of the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) and examined the effects of increased winter snow depth and decreased growing season length on the phenology of four arctic plant species (
