Plant phenology, the annually recurring sequence of plant developmental stages, is
important for plant functioning and ecosystem services and their biophysical and …

Leaf area index (LAI) is a critical vegetation structural variable and is essential in the
feedback of vegetation to the climate system. The advancement of the global Earth …

Global warming delays the autumn date of foliar senescence (DFS) in recent decades, with
positive implications for growing season length and therefore global carbon storage …

Changes in the growing-season lengths of temperate trees greatly affect biotic interactions
and global carbon balance. Yet future growing-season trajectories remain highly uncertain …

Dense time series of Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 imagery are creating exciting new
opportunities to monitor, map, and characterize temporal dynamics in land surface …

As the climate changes, warmer spring temperatures are causing earlier leaf-out,–and
commencement of CO2 uptake, in temperate deciduous forests, resulting in a tendency …

Vegetation phenology controls the seasonality of many ecosystem processes, as well as
numerous biosphere-atmosphere feedbacks. Phenology is also highly sensitive to climate …

The sunlight received by plants is affected by cloudiness and pollution. Future changes in
cloud cover will differ among regions, while aerosol concentrations are expected to continue …

The timing of phenological events exerts a strong control over ecosystem function and leads
to multiple feedbacks to the climate system. Phenology is inherently sensitive to temperature …

Vegetation phenology is highly sensitive to climate change. Phenology also controls many
feedbacks of vegetation to the climate system by influencing the seasonality of albedo …
