Vegetation indices (VIs), which describe remotely sensed vegetation properties such as
photosynthetic activity and canopy structure, are widely used to study vegetation dynamics …

As global land surface temperature continues to rise and heatwave events increase in
frequency, duration, and/or intensity, our key food and fuel crop** systems will likely face …

Dryness stress can limit vegetation growth and is often characterized by low soil moisture
(SM) and high atmospheric water demand (vapor pressure deficit, VPD). However, the …

Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is increasing, which increases leaf‐scale
photosynthesis and intrinsic water‐use efficiency. These direct responses have the potential …

In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

Plant phenology, the annually recurring sequence of plant developmental stages, is
important for plant functioning and ecosystem services and their biophysical and …

Remote sensing of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) is a rapidly advancing front
in terrestrial vegetation science, with emerging capability in space-based methodologies …

Working Group I (WGI) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assesses
the current evidence on the physical science of climate change, evaluating knowledge …

Quantifying ecosystem carbon fluxes and stocks is essential for better understanding the
global carbon cycle and improving projections of the carbon-climate feedbacks. Remote …

FLUXNET comprises globally distributed eddy-covariance-based estimates of carbon fluxes
