Atmospheric dryness reduces photosynthesis along a large range of soil water deficits

Zheng Fu et al.

Summary: Soil water content affects GPP differently from atmospheric dryness, with an increase in GPP with high soil water content but a decrease when below a threshold. Atmospheric dryness always negatively affects GPP. Earth System Models underestimate the effects of atmospheric dryness and soil water content on GPP.

An Assessment of Production Trends on the Great Plains from 1984 to 2017

Matthew C. Reeves et al.

Summary: Through the creation of the RPMS database, trends and variations of ANPP in different types of grasslands in the Great Plains region have been successfully quantified. Significant increases in ANPP have been observed across all major grassland types since 1984, particularly in the northern mixed-grass prairie.

Tracking rates of postfire conifer regeneration vs. deciduous vegetation recovery across the western United States

Melanie K. Vanderhoof et al.

Summary: This study analyzed postfire vegetation recovery in the western United States, using remote sensing and field measurements. It found that areas with conifer saplings had higher rates of recovery compared to areas without, while areas with higher grass/forb/shrub cover had higher recovery rates. Key factors influencing recovery rates included burn severity, temperature anomalies, aridity, and growing degree days.

Grazing alters the sensitivity of plant productivity to precipitation in northern temperate grasslands

Amgaa Batbaatar et al.

Summary: Research findings show that grazing increases the sensitivity of above-ground net primary productivity (ANPP) to inter-annual changes in precipitation. This increased sensitivity in grazed locations is associated with a shift in vegetation composition, with an increase in forb contribution to total ANPP and a decrease in grass contribution. Additionally, grazing was found to have a greater impact on arid grasslands compared to mesic grasslands in response to precipitation variability, reducing ANPP during dry years but no effect during wet years.

Evolution of NDVI secular trends and responses to climate change: A perspective from nonlinearity and nonstationarity characteristics

Liqin Yang et al.

Summary: This study utilized MEEMD and BEAST algorithms to diagnose vegetation trends in the Hexi Corridor from 1982 to 2015, addressing the spatiotemporal nonlinearity and nonstationarity of climatic drivers using GTWR. The results revealed a clear greening trend in vegetation in the Hexi Corridor.

Scale gaps in landscape phenology: challenges and opportunities

Daniel S. Park et al.

Summary: This article discusses the heterogeneity of phenology across different scales and emphasizes the importance of scale dependence in phenology. It also suggests opportunities to address the sensitivity of phenological metrics to measurement scale. While most studies focus on plants, it provides a general approach for understanding the role of observation scale in landscape phenology.

Summary: This study quantitatively assessed the contributions of land cover composition, climate, and topography on the spatial and interannual variation in LSP using a machine learning approach. The results highlighted the essential role of land cover composition in understanding the spatial and interannual variations of LSP.

Biotic vs abiotic controls on temporal sensitivity of primary production to precipitation across North American drylands

Andrew J. Felton et al.

Summary: Dryland net primary productivity is sensitive to temporal variation in precipitation, with higher sensitivity in locations dominated by herbaceous vegetation. Spatial variation in sensitivity is less explained by mean annual precipitation, with inconsistent associations between sensitivity and precipitation across different ecoregions.

Annual and 16-Day Rangeland Production Estimates for the Western United States

Matthew O. Jones et al.

Summary: Recent advancements in remote sensing data have allowed for estimates of herbaceous rangeland production in the western United States from 1986 to 2019. These estimates are critical for management decisions, especially in cases of annual grass invasion and woody encroachment of rangeland systems. Utilizing multiple lines of evidence is essential when using production estimates for decision making.

Is the grass always greener? Land surface phenology reveals differences in peak and season-long vegetation productivity responses to climate and management

David J. A. Wood et al.

Summary: This study examined vegetation productivity and phenological dates variability in the U.S. Northwestern Plains from 1989 to 2014 using climate data and land surface phenology data derived from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. It found that higher annual precipitation increased peak and season-long productivity, while higher mean annual temperatures tended to increase peak productivity but decrease season-long productivity. The relationships between climate and phenology varied across the region and among plant communities, and nonclimatic dynamics could decouple phenology from climate.

Assessment of properties of vegetation phenology in fire-affected areas from 2000 to 2015 in the Peloponnese, Greece

Alexandra Gemitzi et al.

Summary: The study assessed the properties of vegetation phenology in fire-affected areas in the Peloponnese, Greece over a 10-year period. Fire events caused breaks in NDVI time series and affected the trend and seasonality of vegetation recovery patterns. Areas with homogeneous vegetation without fire breaks were found to be the most vulnerable and severely affected by fires.
