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

With increasing threats and pressure exerted on Earth's forest resources, there are greater
demands for more quantitative, timely, and accurate information on their state, functioning …

The 2-band enhanced vegetation index (EVI2) was developed as an alternative to the
enhanced vegetation index (EVI) for sensors that lack a blue band or for observing bright …

Distinguishing the respective roles of climate change and anthropogenic activities can
provide crucial information for sustainable management of the environment. Here, using the …

As the Earth's third pole, the Tibetan Plateau has experienced a pronounced warming in the
past decades. Recent studies reported that the start of the vegetation growing season (SOS) …

Metabolism and phenology of Amazon rainforests significantly influence global dynamics of
climate, carbon and water, but remain poorly understood. We analyzed Amazon vegetation …

Satellite-derived NDVI time series are fundamental to the remote sensing of vegetation
phenology, but their application is hindered by prevalent noise resulting chiefly from varying …

Remote sensing optical sensors onboard operational satellites cannot have high spectral,
spatial and temporal resolutions simultaneously. In addition, clouds and aerosols can …

Vegetation optical depth (VOD) retrievals from three satellite‐based passive microwave
instruments were merged to produce the first long‐term global microwave‐based vegetation …

Aim We intend to characterize and understand the spatial and temporal patterns of
vegetation phenology shifts in North America during the period 1982–2006. Location North …
