Pan-Arctic soil moisture control on tundra carbon sequestration and plant productivity
Soil moisture limits the arctic carbon sink potential under climate change.
Predicting spring green-up across diverse North American grasslands
Existing models of grassland phenology poorly predict green-up. Inclusion of precipitation, in addition to temperature, resulted in …
The aeroecology of atmospheric convergence zones: the case of pallid swifts
In contrast to the current paradigm, which centers on insect availability using vegetation as a proxy, we show that weather related …
Earlier snowmelt may lead to late season declines in plant productivity and carbon sequestration in Arctic tundra ecosystems
Our results suggest that the expected increased CO2 sequestration arising from Arctic warming and the associated increase in growing …
Geographical distribution and genetic diversity of the banana Fusarium wilt fungus in Laos and Vietnam
Fusarium wilt is a major disease of bananas and poses a threat to global banana production. Here we investigate the genetic diversity …
Calibrating vegetation phenology from Sentinel-2 using eddy covariance, PhenoCam, and PEP725 networks across Europe
The freely available Sentinel-2 imagery at a 10 m spatial resolution with a ~ 5-day repeat cycle provides an opportunity to map …
Comparing effectiveness, cost- and time-efficiency of control options for Xanthomonas wilt of banana under Rwandan agro-ecological conditions
Xanthomonas wilt is a major disease of bananas affecting the livelihood and food security of East and Central African small-holder …
The Integration of Shade-Sensitive Annual Crops in Musa spp. Plantations in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo
In small-holder intercropping the choice of banana spacing will need to be tailored to the banana cultivar, soil conditions and the …
Sensitivity and Tolerance of Different Annual Crops to Different Levels of Banana Shade and Dry Season Weather
We show that careful selection and allocation of crops with varying sensitivity to various banana shade levels and dry season weather …
Historical Aerial Surveys Map Long-Term Changes of Forest Cover and Structure in the Central Congo Basin
We used a combination of historical (1958) aerial photography and contemporary remote sensing data to map long-term changes in the …
Monitoring crop phenology using a smartphone based near-surface remote sensing approach
Smartphone repeat imagery quantifies important phenological stages of winter wheat. Small scale phenology or disturbances are not …
Assimilating phenology datasets automatically across ICOS ecosystem stations
We detail the procedure for the implementation of cameras on Integrated Carbon Observation System flux towers and how these images will …
An integrated phenology modelling framework in r
We present the phenor r package and modelling framework. The framework leverages measurements of vegetation phenology from four common …
Productivity of North American grasslands is increased under future climate scenarios despite rising aridity
We explore the potential responses of North American grasslands to climate change using a new, data-informed vegetation–hydrological …
