Droughts are expected to become more frequent and more intense under climate change. Plant mortality rates and biomass declines in response to drought depend on stomatal and …
Over land the vegetation canopy affects the microwave brightness temperature by emission, scattering and attenuation of surface soil emission. Attenuation, as represented by …
Passive microwave measurements have the potential to estimate vegetation optical depth (VOD), an indicator of aboveground vegetation water content. They are also sensitive to the …
Drought-induced tree mortality events are expected to increase in frequency under climate change. However, monitoring and modeling of tree mortality is limited by the high spatial …
Microwave radiometry can be used to measure vegetation water content through vegetation optical depth (VOD). VOD can vary due to changes in water stress alone, but also scales …
Droughts are expected to become more frequent and severe under climate change, increasing the need for accurate predictions of plant drought response. This response varies …
Attenuation of surface microwave emission due to the overlying vegetation is proportional to the density of the canopy and to its water content. The vegetation optical depth (VOD) …
In this paper, it is demonstrated that while satellite soil moisture (SM) retrievals often have minimum biases, reanalysis data can capture more temporal variability of SM, especially for …

Surface soil moisture (SM) retrieval over agricultural areas from polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) has long been restricted by vegetation attenuation, simplified …
