TL;DR: The results suggest the utility of digital cameras for phenological observations at precise temporal and spatial resolutions, despite a year-to-year drift of color balance of camera as a technical device.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the influence of environmental factors on net ecosystem production (NEP), gross primary production (GPP), and ecosystem respiration (RE) in forest ecosystems across East Asia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted measurements of net ecosystem production (NEP) over forest stands from 11 flux towers in sub-arctic, temperate, and tropical regions in East Asia between 2000 and 2005.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how forest ecosystems responded to meteorological anomalies during the period using the dataset collected at flux monitoring sites in Asia, including a boreal forest in Mongolia, temperate forests in China and Japan, and a sub-tropical forest in China, as well as the dataset from satellite remote sensing.

TL;DR: A new method for monitoring alpine ecosystems by digital cameras was developed in order to detect both snow-cover areas and vegetation phenology at the plant community or species level, suggesting that the length of the growing period mainly corresponded to the snowmelt gradient in relation to the local microtopography.
