Accelerated dryland expansion regulates future variability in dryland gross primary production
Drylands cover 41% of Earth's surface and are the largest source of interannual variability in
the global carbon sink. Drylands are projected to experience accelerated expansion over …

Changes in growing season duration and productivity of northern vegetation inferred from long-term remote sensing data
Monitoring and understanding climate-induced changes in the boreal and arctic vegetation
is critical to aid in prognosticating their future. We used a 33 year (1982–2014) long record …
