The L-band vegetation optical depth data garners significant interest for its ability to
effectively monitor vegetation, thanks to minimal saturation within this frequency range …

Tropical terrestrial ecosystems play an important role in modulating the global carbon
balance. However, the complex dynamics and factors controlling tropical aboveground live …

To do so we focus on the recently published (within 10 years) peer reviewed literature and
consider studies across four information needs, individual tree, stand, regional/national, and …

Two L-band passive microwave satellite sensors, onboard the Soil Moisture and Ocean
Salinity (SMOS) launched in 2009 and Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) launched in …

Most existing soil moisture (SM) products from earth observations and land surface models
over the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) have coarse resolutions or are mostly generated …

Abstract The 2015–2016 El Niño-induced drought caused biomass loss in global tropical
forests, yet the recovery duration of different vegetation components (woody components …

Effective monitoring of soil and vegetation properties on a global scale is essential for better
understanding climate changes, hydrological dynamics, and ecological processes. Passive …

Abstract NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite mission provides an
unprecedented opportunity to monitor global surface soil moisture (SM). The retrieval of …

The carbon sink in pantropical biomes play a crucial role in modulating the inter‐annual
variations of global terrestrial carbon balance and is threatened by extreme climate events …

The potential of spaceborne global navigation satellite system reflectometry (GNSS-R) to
retrieve a variety of geophysical parameters has already been demonstrated in numerous …
