Droughts in a warming climate have become more common and more extreme, making
understanding forest responses to water stress increasingly pressing. Analysis of water …

Observations from spaceborne radar contain considerable information about vegetation
dynamics. The ability to extract this information could lead to improved soil moisture …

Large-scale crop monitoring and yield estimation are important for both scientific research
and practical applications. Satellite remote sensing provides an effective means for regional …

Recent Amazonian droughts have drawn attention to the vulnerability of tropical forests to
climate perturbations. Satellite and in situ observations have shown an increase in fire …

It is unclear to what extent seasonal water stress impacts on plant productivity over
Amazonia. Using new Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) satellite …

The sensitivity of Earth's wetlands to observed shifts in global precipitation and temperature
patterns and their ability to produce large quantities of methane gas are key global change …

Remotely sensed microwave observations of vegetation optical depth (VOD) have been
widely used for examining vegetation responses to climate. Nevertheless, the relative …

Urban population now exceeds rural population globally, and 60–80% of global energy
consumption by households, businesses, transportation, and industry occurs in urban areas …

Considerable controversy is associated with dry season increases in the Enhanced
Vegetation Index (EVI), observed using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer …

Recently developed methodologies such as climate reanalysis make it possible to create a
historical record of climate systems. This paper proposes a methodology called Hydrological …
