phenology

Across 25 NEON forest sites, we show that canopy gaps are consistently linked to phenological shifts, with earlier spring green-up at 15 sites and delayed autumn senescence at 18 sites. Typical gap sizes shift timing by −2 to +2 days in spring and −1 to +5 days in autumn, with effects varying by biome and background climate.

Hanshi will give a talk on how canopy nutrients influence autumn senescence

Tong will give an invited talk about modeling phenology across scales

Terrestrial vegetation is a crucial component of Earth’s biosphere, regulating global carbon and water cycles and contributing to …

Hanshi Chen will present on phenology response to canopy structure

Tong will present phenological modeling using joint models

We developed a model to quantify how daily phenological development responds to climate change and extreme weather eventts.

We developed an algorithm to derive phenology metrics for double-season crops using Landsat images.

We found that amplitude of urbanization, quantified as changes of %ISA, can compensate the negative effects (delayed SOS or advanced EOS) and amplify the positive effects (earlier SOS or later EOS) of climate change on temporal variations of LSP in most climate zones (except the dry climate)

Landscape metrics play important roles in modulating the spatial distribution of vegetation phenology along a rural to urban gradient
