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

Vegetation greenness has been increasing globally since at least 1981, when satellite
technology enabled large-scale vegetation monitoring. The greening phenomenon, together …

Despite the growing interest in predicting global and regional trends in vegetation
productivity in response to a changing climate, changes in water constraint on vegetation …

The enhanced vegetation productivity driven by increased concentrations of carbon dioxide
(CO2)[ie, the CO2 fertilization effect (CFE)] sustains an important negative feedback on …

Quantifying how climate change drives drought is a priority to inform policy and adaptation
planning. We show that the latest Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) …

As the terrestrial human footprint continues to expand, the amount of native forest that is free
from significant damaging human activities is in precipitous decline. There is emerging …

Tropical ecosystems have the highest levels of biodiversity, cycle more water and absorb
more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem on Earth. Consequently, these ecosystems …

Satellite based remote sensing offers one of the few approaches able to monitor the spatial
and temporal development of regional to continental scale droughts. A unique element of …

For half a century, the process of economic integration of the Amazon has been based on
intensive use of renewable and nonrenewable natural resources, which has brought …

Tree mortality rates appear to be increasing in moist tropical forests (MTF s) with significant
carbon cycle consequences. Here, we review the state of knowledge regarding MTF tree …
