Vegetation Productivity Losses Linked to Mediterranean Hot and Dry Events
Persistent hot and dry conditions play an important role in vegetation dynamics, being generally associated with reduced activity. In the Mediterranean region, ecosystems are adapted to such conditions.

Predicting Water Cycle Characteristics from Percolation Theory and Observational Data. [PDF]
The fate of water and water-soluble toxic wastes in the subsurface is of high importance for many scientific and practical applications. Although solute transport is proportional to water flow rates, theoretical and experimental studies show that heavy ...

Water use efficiency of China\u27s terrestrial ecosystems and responses to drought [PDF]
Water use efficiency (WUE) measures the trade-off between carbon gain and water loss of terrestrial ecosystems, and better understanding its dynamics and controlling factors is essential for predicting ecosystem responses to climate change.

Global vegetation productivity increased in response to COVID-19 restrictions
The novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19)-imposed restrictions in 2020 and 2021 led to a notable reduction in human activity, providing an opportunity to study the impact of human activity on global vegetation productivity.

Sun-Angle Effects on Remote-Sensing Phenology Observed and Modelled Using Himawari-8
Satellite remote sensing of vegetation at regional to global scales is undertaken at considerable variations in solar zenith angle (SZA) across space and time, yet the extent to which these SZA variations matter for the retrieval of phenology remains ...
