Solar and sensor geometry, not vegetation response, drive satellite NDVI phenology in widespread ecosystems of the western United States

JR Norris, JJ Walker - Remote Sensing of Environment, 2020 - Elsevier
Satellite-derived phenology metrics are valuable tools for understanding broad-scale
patterns and changes in vegetated landscapes over time. However, the extraction and …

Navigating snowscapes: scale‐dependent responses of mountain sheep to snowpack properties

PJ Mahoney, GE Liston, S LaPoint… - Ecological …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library

Climatically driven changes in primary production propagate through trophic levels

DC Stoner, JO Sexton, DM Choate… - Global Change …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Climate and land‐use change are the major drivers of global biodiversity loss. Their effects

LiDAR derived topography and forest stand characteristics largely explain the spatial variability observed in MODIS land surface phenology

G Misra, A Buras, M Heurich, S Asam… - Remote Sensing of …, 2018 - Elsevier
In the past, studies have successfully identified climatic controls on the temporal variability of
the land surface phenology (LSP). Yet we lack a deeper understanding of the spatial …

Divergence in parturition timing and vegetation onset in a large herbivore—differences along a latitudinal gradient

W Neumann, NJ Singh, F Stenbacka… - Biology …, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
In northern environments, the period of access to high-quality forage is limited, exerting
strong selective pressure to optimize the timing of parturition. We analysed timing and …

Large‐scale variation in birth timing and synchrony of a large herbivore along the latitudinal and altitudinal gradients

M Peláez, JM Gaillard, K Bollmann… - Journal of Animal …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Hopkins' Bioclimatic Law predicts geographical patterns in phenological timing by
establishing a correspondence between latitudinal and altitudinal gradients. First proposed …

Birth date determines early calf survival in migratory caribou
