Land surface temperature (LST) is a crucial parameter that reflects land–atmosphere
interaction and has thus attracted wide interest from geoscientists. Owing to the rapid …

Abstract The 2017–2027 National Academies' Decadal Survey, Thriving on Our Changing
Planet, recommended Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) as a “Designated Targeted …

The rooting-zone water-storage capacity—the amount of water accessible to plants—
controls the sensitivity of land–atmosphere exchange of water and carbon during dry …

The fate of the terrestrial biosphere is highly uncertain given recent and projected changes
in climate. This is especially acute for impacts associated with changes in drought frequency …

Evapotranspiration is a major component of the global water cycle and provides a critical
nexus between terrestrial water, carbon and surface energy exchanges. Evapotranspiration …

This review surveys current and emerging drought monitoring approaches using satellite
remote sensing observations from climatological and ecosystem perspectives. We argue …

Evapotranspiration (ET) from the land surface is an important component of the terrestrial
hydrological cycle. Since the advent of Earth observation by satellites, various models have …

As the largest river basin on Earth, the Amazon is of major importance to the world's climate
and water resources. Over the past decades, advances in satellite‐based remote sensing …

Thermal infrared (TIR) multi-/hyperspectral and sun-induced fluorescence (SIF) approaches
together with classic solar-reflective (visible, near-, and shortwave infrared reflectance …

Drylands make up roughly 40% of the Earth's land surface, and billions of people depend on
services provided by these critically important ecosystems. Despite their relatively sparse …
