Estimating carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems has been a central focus of research
over the past two decades because of its importance to terrestrial carbon cycles and …

Satellite observations play an important role in characterization of the interannual variation
of vegetation. Here, we report anomalies of two vegetation indices for Northern Asia (40° N …

In this study, the changes in desert boundaries in Asia (Gobi, Karakum, Lut, Taklimakan, and
Thar deserts) during the growing season (April–October) in the years 1982–2008 were …

The phenology of the vegetation covering north Asia (mainly Siberia) and its spatial
characterstics were investigated using remotely sensed normalized difference vegetation …

Human-induced desertification in the Horqin sandy land in the north-eastern part of China
has been reversed since the mid-1970s through re-vegetation. This land cover change …

The spatio-temporal characteristics of remote sensing are considered to be the primary
advantage in environmental studies. With long-term and frequent satellite observations, it is …

The Mongolian Steppe that borders the northern and eastern edges of the Gobi Desert in
central Asia is one of the world's largest grasslands, extending across the nation of Mongolia …

Central Eurasian vegetation is critical for the regional ecological security and the global
carbon cycle. However, climatic impacts on vegetation growth in Central Eurasia are …

Abstract Using satellite-observed Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) dada and
station-observed surface air temperature anomalies for the Northern Hemisphere (NH), we …

Multiple ecological engineering projects have been implemented in semiarid and subhumid
Northern China since 1978 with the purpose to combat desertification, control dust storms …
