Vegetation of Eurasia from the last glacial maximum to present: Key biogeographic patterns (2017, background): “So-called “arctic greening” has been widely reported (e.g., Sturm et al., 2001; Goetz et al., 2005; Forbes et al., 2010), and its consequences include modification of the land-surface feedback to climate (e.g., Chae et al., 2015).”
Earlier springs decrease peak summer productivity in North American boreal forests (2013, neutral): “However, more recent studies showed declining satellite productivity trends across large portions of the boreal forests since the early 1990s that appear to be linked to warmer and drier conditions (Angert et al 2005, Goetz et al 2005, Beck and Goetz 2011).”
Ecosystem responses to recent climate change and fire disturbance at northern high latitudes: observations and model results contrasting northern Eurasia and North America (2007, background): “... and North America experienced an increase in both peak productivity and growing season length between 1982 and 2005 (figure 2), a finding supported by a wide and increasing range of local field measurements characterizing elevated net CO2 uptake, greater depths of seasonal thaw, changes in the c”
Permafrost response to increasing Arctic shrub abundance depends on the relative influence of shrubs on local soil cooling versus large-scale climate warming (2011, result): “Among the environmental changes that have been observed is an increase in shrub abundance across much of the Arctic tundra (Sturm et al 2001b, Goetz et al 2005, Tape et al 2006), consistent with experimental warming studies which indicate that both the height and coverage of deciduous shrubs…”
Spatial and Temporal Variation of NDVI in Response to Climate Change and the Implication for Carbon Dynamics in Nepal (2018, methodology): “These data sets have been widely used in the studies of vegetation changes because of the high quality and elimination of possible errors caused by integral and extraneous factors [2,57,58,99].”
Shrub expansion at the forest–tundra ecotone: spatial heterogeneity linked to local topography (2012, background): “…2001, Jia et al 2003, Verbyla 2008; Russia: Forbes et al 2010; Western Canada: Olthof and Pouliot 2010), over a longer time span (≥20 y: Jia et al 2003, Goetz et al 2005, Verbyla 2008, Forbes et al 2010, Olthof and Pouliot 2010) and at a better resolution (Jia et al 2003, Olthof and Pouliot 2010).”
Detecting long-term changes to vegetation in northern Canada using the Landsat satellite image archive (2011, methodology): “…vegetation documented by studies employing the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) calculated from the ∼25 year archive of coarse resolution NOAA advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) satellite imagery (Myneni et al 1997, Goetz et al 2005, Pouliot et al 2009, Jia et al 2009).”
Satellite observations of high northern latitude vegetation productivity changes between 1982 and 2008: ecological variability and regional differences (2011, background): “The test prevents autocorrelation in the series, or abrupt disturbance events, from generating artificial trends (Goetz et al 2005).”
On the influence of shrub height and expansion on northern high latitude climate (2012, result): “This corroborates earlier studies that contrasted consistent greening trends in pan-Arctic tundra areas (with a longer growing season length; e.g. Goetz et al 2005, Bunn and Goetz 2006) with the decline in photosynthetic activity found in forest areas (Angert et al 2005).”
Resilience of Alaska's Boreal Forest to Climatic Change (2010, background): “High-latitude amplification of 20th century global warming has caused Alaska's boreal forest to warm twice as rapidly as the global average (Arctic Climate Impact Assessment 2005; Hinzman et al. 2005; Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2007).”
Recent changes in phenology over the northern high latitudes detected from multi-satellite data (2011, background): “Most studies found advanced start of season (SOS) and delayed end of season (EOS) either from field measurements (Menzel 2000, Ho et al 2006) or from satellite observations (Myneni et al 1997, Zhou et al 2001, Tucker et al 2001, Goetz et al 2005, Jia et al 2009).”
