Leaf phenology represents a major temporal component of ecosystem functioning, and understanding the drivers of seasonal variation in phenology is essential to understand plant responses to climate change. We assessed the ...

NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) time-series have beenused for permitting a land surface phenology retrieval but these timeseries are affected by clouds and aerosols,which add noise to the signalsensor. In ...

include red-listed species and have a high cultural importance for the ancestral population and thus require continuous monitoring to support conservation. Monitoring of phenology by satellite observations is a key tool ...

Two 11-year simulations were conducted to investigate the influence of two runoff schemes in the community land model version 4.5 (CLM45) on the Amazon surface energy balance and surface climate using a high-resolution ...

Transition zones between dry and humid climates are highly sensitive areas where small changes in the spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall may have vast consequences on vegetation development. Rainfall regimes are ...

More than half of the dry woodlands (forests and shrublands) of the world are in South America, mainly in Brazil and Argentina, where in the last years intense land use changes have occurred. This study evaluated how the ...

The “blooming desert”, or the explosive development and flowering of ephemeral herbaceous and some woody desert species during years with abnormally high accumulated rainfall, is a spectacular biological phenomenon of the ...

Comprender la interacción entre los procesos de la superficie terrestre y la atmósfera es fundamental para predecir los efectos del cambio climático futuro sobre el funcionamiento de los ecosistemas y la dinámica del ...
