Vegetation indices (VIs), which describe remotely sensed vegetation properties such as
photosynthetic activity and canopy structure, are widely used to study vegetation dynamics …

Vegetation greenness has been increasing globally since at least 1981, when satellite
technology enabled large-scale vegetation monitoring. The greening phenomenon, together …

Vegetation composition shifts, and in particular, shrub expansion across the Arctic tundra
are some of the most important and widely observed responses of high-latitude ecosystems …

Building a more resilient food system for sustainable development and reducing uncertainty
in global food markets both require concurrent and near-real-time and reliable crop …

Abstract The 2017–2027 National Academies' Decadal Survey, Thriving on Our Changing
Planet, recommended Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) as a “Designated Targeted …

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 …

Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) has emerged as a leading approach for remote
sensing of gross primary productivity (GPP). While SIF has an intrinsic, underlying …

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

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 …

Quantifying global terrestrial photosynthesis is essential to understanding the global carbon
cycle and the climate system. Remote sensing has played a pivotal role in advancing our …
