Satellite remote sensing of global land surface temperature: Definition, methods, products, and applications
Land surface temperature (LST) is a crucial parameter that reflects land–atmosphere
interaction and has thus attracted wide interest from geoscientists. Owing to the rapid …

Drivers and impacts of changes in China's drylands
Abstract China has 6.6 million km2 of drylands that support approximately 580 million
people. These drylands are at risk of desertification. In this Review, the changes observed in …

Forestation at the right time with the right species can generate persistent carbon benefits in China
Previous evaluations on the biophysical potential of forest carbon sink have focused on
forestation area distribution and the associated carbon stock for equilibrium-state forests …

Biophysical impacts of earth greening can substantially mitigate regional land surface temperature warming
Vegetation change can alter surface energy balance and subsequently affect the local
climate. This biophysical impact has been well studied for forestation cases, but the sign and …

China and India lead in greening of the world through land-use management
Satellite data show increasing leaf area of vegetation due to direct factors (human land-use
management) and indirect factors (such as climate change, CO2 fertilization, nitrogen …

Asymmetric influence of forest cover gain and loss on land surface temperature
The direct biophysical effects of fine-scale tree cover changes on temperature are not well
understood. Here, we show how land surface temperature responds to subgrid gross tree …
