TL;DR: The Soil Moisture Active Passive mission is one of the first Earth observation satellites being developed by NASA in response to the National Research Council's Decadal Survey to make global measurements of the soil moisture present at the Earth's land surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal persistence and stability of surface soil moisture in a semi-arid watershed
TL;DR: In this paper, the representativeness of ground observations at satellite scale soil moisture in a semi-arid watershed for a long study period (March 1, 2002 to September 13, 2005) was investigated.

RANGES improves satellite-based information and land cover assessments in southwest United States
Jiaguo Qi,Robin Marsett,Philip Heilman,Sharon Biedenbender,Susan Moran,David C. Goodrich,Mark A. Weltz +6 more
TL;DR: For example, human activities in the southwest U.S., such as grazing regimes and fire frequency, are accelerating functional changes to fragile rangeland ecosystems, causing increased proportions of shrubs in grasslands, decreases in overall vegetation density and the introduction and spread of non-native invasive species as discussed by the authors.
