Tundra vegetation productivity and composition are responding rapidly to climatic changes
in the Arctic. These changes can, in turn, mitigate or amplify permafrost thaw. In this Review …

Snow is an important driver of ecosystem processes in cold biomes. Snow accumulation
determines ground temperature, light conditions, and moisture availability during winter. It …

Remote sensing of vegetation phenology has long been used to characterize ecosystem
functions and responses to climate at spatial and temporal scales unfeasible to field surveys …

Remote sensing techniques are increasingly used for studying ecosystem dynamics,
delivering spatially explicit information on the properties of Earth over large spatial and multi …

The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, leading to rapid changes in
species composition and plant functional trait variation. Landscape-level maps of vegetation …

Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) and snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) form a keystone
predator–prey cycle that has large impacts on the North American boreal forest vertebrate …

Arctic landscapes are changing rapidly in response to warming, but future predictions are
hindered by difficulties in scaling ecological relationships from plots to biomes. Unmanned …

In burned landscapes, the recruitment success of the tree dominant species mainly depends
on plant competition mechanisms operating at fine spatial scale, that may hinder resource …

Aerial drones typically operate over small geographic areas (< 5 km2), yet environmental
and infrastructure monitoring applications often require the collection of data over larger …

Land surface phenology (LSP) has been extensively explored from global archives of
satellite observations to track and monitor the seasonality of rangeland ecosystems in …
