TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), land surface temperature (LST), and land cover data to determine spatiotemporal patterns in vegetation phenology with respect to LST along the urban-rural gradient (URG) in China's coastal Dalian subprovince, with a focus on the main city of Dalian and three sub-cities (Pulandian, Wafangdian, and Zhuanghe).

TL;DR: In this paper, wavelet analysis was applied to explore the multi-scale variations of CH4 flux and its controls in coastal marshes and partial wavelet coherence was used to disentangle confounding effects of measured variables.

TL;DR: Describing methods, analytical comparisons, and model output for China's first high resolution, species level poultry distribution maps are provided.

TL;DR: Feng et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a Land Surface Pattern and Simulation (LSP) model for land surface pattern and simulation at the University of Oklahoma's Center for Spatial Analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of the MODIS observation footprint and the vegetation bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) on crop daily GPP estimation with the four spectral vegetation indices (NDVI, enhanced vegetation index (EVI), green band chlorophyll index (CIgreen), and the green band wide dynamic range vegetation index(WDRVIgreen) were computed from the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) surface reflectance data.
