The growth of past, present, and future forests was, is and will be affected by climate
variability. This multifaceted relationship has been assessed in several regional studies, but …

Quantifying the contributions of climate change (CC) and human activities (HA) to vegetation
change is crucial for making a sustainable vegetation restoration scheme. However, the …

Abstract Purpose of Review The successful application of thermal infrared (TIR) remote
sensing in the agricultural domain, largely driven by the arrival of new platforms and sensors …

Several forest change detection algorithms are available for tracking and quantifying
deforestation based on dense Landsat and Sentinel time series satellite data. Only few also …

Soil moisture (SM) is closely correlated with ecosystem structure and function. Examining

In 1999, the Yellow River Basin (YRB) launched the Grain for Green Program (GGP), which
has had a huge impact on the Yellow River Basin vegetation. Research regarding the …

The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and tree-ring parameters are commonly
used indicators in the research on forest ecology and responses to climate change. This …

Introduction Net primary productivity (NPP) is an important indicator used to characterize the
productivity of terrestrial ecosystems. The spatial distribution and dynamic change in NPP …

Gridded precipitation datasets have been developed for data assimilation and evaluation
tasks of weather and climate models and for climate analyses. Gridded data uncertainty …
