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

An increasing number of studies have reported on shifts in timing and length of the growing
season, based on phenological, satellite and climatological studies. The evidence points to …

Vegetation phenology controls the seasonality of many ecosystem processes, as well as
numerous biosphere-atmosphere feedbacks. Phenology is also highly sensitive to climate …

Africa is forecasted to experience large and rapid climate change and population growth
during the twenty-first century, which threatens the world's second largest rainforest …

Global climate change impacts can already be tracked in many physical and biological
systems; in particular, terrestrial ecosystems provide a consistent picture of observed …

Several models have been fitted in the past to smooth time-series vegetation index data from
different satellite sensors to estimate vegetation phenological parameters. However …

Current models of vegetation dynamics using the normalized vegetation index (NDVI) time
series perform poorly for high-latitude environments. This is due partly to specific attributes …

Abstract Background and Aims Many individual studies have shown that the timing of leaf
senescence in boreal and temperate deciduous forests in the northern hemisphere is …

Executive summary Physical and biological systems on all continents and in most oceans
are already being affected by recent climate changes, particularly regional temperature …

It is well known that increased spring temperatures cause earlier onset dates of leaf
unfolding and flowering. However, a temperature increase in winter may be associated with …
