The wealth of complementary data available from remote sensing missions can hugely aid
efforts towards accurately determining land use and quantifying subtle changes in land use …

Vegetation phenology is considered an important biological indicator in understanding the
behaviour of ecosystems and how it responds to environmental cues. Changes in vegetation …

Vegetation is highly sensitive to climate changes in arid regions. The relationship between
vegetation and climate changes can be effectively characterized by vegetation phenology …

Droughts are expected to become more frequent and more intense under climate change.
Plant mortality rates and biomass declines in response to drought depend on stomatal and …

The short revisit times afforded by recently-deployed optical satellite sensors that acquire 3–
30 m resolution imagery provide new opportunities to study seasonal vegetation dynamics …

Abstract Knowledge about the impacts of urban heat islands (UHI) and associated thermal
gradients on vegetation seasonality (ie phenology) is vital for understanding spatial patterns …

Vegetation is a key element in the energy, water and carbon balances over the land
surfaces and is strongly impacted by climate change and anthropogenic effects. Remotely …

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 …

Over land the vegetation canopy affects the microwave brightness temperature by emission,
scattering and attenuation of surface soil emission. Attenuation, as represented by …

Monitoring long-term biomass dynamics in drylands is of great importance for many
environmental applications including land degradation and global carbon cycle modeling …
