Remote sensing of dryland ecosystem structure and function: Progress, challenges, and opportunities
Drylands make up roughly 40% of the Earth's land surface, and billions of people depend on
services provided by these critically important ecosystems. Despite their relatively sparse …

Satellite passive microwaves reveal recent climate-induced carbon losses in African drylands
The African continent is facing one of the driest periods in the past three decades as well as
continued deforestation. These disturbances threaten vegetation carbon (C) stocks and …
