Climate change and associated Arctic amplification cause a degradation of permafrost
which in turn has major implications for the environment. The potential turnover of frozen …

Observing the environment in the vast regions of Earth through remote sensing platforms
provides the tools to measure ecological dynamics. The Arctic tundra biome, one of the …

Land cover maps are the basic data layer required for understanding and modeling
ecological patterns and processes. The Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map (CAVM) …

Fractional cover of green vegetation (FCover) is a key variable when observing Arctic
vegetation under a changing climate. Vegetation changes over large areas are traditionally …

Interactions between the biosphere and the atmosphere can be well characterized by fluxes
between the two. In particular, carbon and energy fluxes play a major role in understanding …

The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, leading to rapid changes in
species composition and plant functional trait variation. Landscape-level maps of vegetation …

Coastal meadows worldwide are subjected to habitat degradation due to abandonment,
intensification and the impacts of global change. In order to protect and restore these …

We developed a high-throughput map** workflow, which centers on deep learning (DL)
convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithms on high-performance distributed computing …

Many studies have reported that the Arctic is greening; however, we lack an understanding
of the detailed patterns and processes that are leading to this observed greening. The …

Global atmospheric concentrations of nitrous oxide have been increasing over previous
decades with emerging research suggesting the Arctic as a notable contributor. Thermokarst …
