Nitrogen (N) is considered as one of the most important plant macronutrients and proper
management of N therefore is a pre-requisite for modern agriculture. Continuous satellite …

An unprecedented spectroscopic data stream will soon become available with forthcoming
Earth-observing satellite missions equipped with imaging spectroradiometers. This data …

Abstract In June 2018, the ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on
Space Station (ECOSTRESS) mission was launched to measure plant temperatures and …

Biodiversity is essential to healthy ecosystem function, influencing productivity and
resilience to disturbance. Biodiversity loss endangers essential ecosystem services and …

When dealing with multiple growth stages, estimates of above-ground biomass (AGB) based
on optical vegetation indices (VIs) are difficult for two reasons:(i) optical VIs saturate at …

Global estimates of terrestrial gross primary production (GPP) remain highly uncertain,
despite decades of satellite measurements and intensive in situ monitoring. We report a new …

Given the rapid development of plant genomic technologies, a lack of access to plant
phenoty** capabilities limits our ability to dissect the genetics of quantitative traits …

Forthcoming superspectral satellite missions dedicated to land monitoring, as well as
planned imaging spectrometers, will unleash an unprecedented data stream. The …

Biodiversity promotes ecosystem function as a consequence of functional differences among
organisms that enable resource partitioning and facilitation. As the need for biodiversity …

Remote sensing of vegetation phenology has long been used to characterize ecosystem
functions and responses to climate at spatial and temporal scales unfeasible to field surveys …
