TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used three long-term satellite leaf area index (LAI) records and ten global ecosystem models to investigate four key drivers of LAI trends during 1982-2009.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant phenology and global climate change: Current progresses and challenges
Shilong Piao,Shilong Piao,Qiang Liu,Anping Chen,Ivan A. Janssens,Yongshuo H. Fu,Yongshuo H. Fu,Junhu Dai,Lingli Liu,Xu Lian,Miaogen Shen,Xiaolin Zhu +11 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that future studies should primarily focus on using new observation tools to improve the understanding of tropical plant phenology, on improving process-based phenology modeling, and on the scaling of phenology from species to landscape-level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics, drivers and feedbacks of global greening
Shilong Piao,Shilong Piao,Xuhui Wang,Taejin Park,Taejin Park,Chi Chen,Xu Lian,Yue He,Jarle W. Bjerke,Anping Chen,Philippe Ciais,Philippe Ciais,Hans Tømmervik,Ramakrishna R. Nemani,Ranga B. Myneni +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the detection of the greening signal, its causes and its consequences, and showed that greening is pronounced over intensively farmed or afforested areas, such as in China and India, reflecting human activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate mitigation from vegetation biophysical feedbacks during the past three decades
Zhenzhong Zeng,Shilong Piao,Laurent Li,Liming Zhou,Philippe Ciais,Tao Wang,Yue Li,Xu Lian,Eric F. Wood,Pierre Friedlingstein,Jiafu Mao,Lyndon Estes,Ranga B. Myneni,Shushi Peng,Xiaoying Shi,Sonia I. Seneviratne,Ying-Ping Wang +16 more
TL;DR: The surface air temperature response to vegetation changes has been studied for the extreme case of land-cover change; yet, it has never been quantified for the slow but persistent increase in leaf area index (LAI) observed over the past 30 years (Earth greening) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Divergent hydrological response to large-scale afforestation and vegetation greening in China
Yue Li,Shilong Piao,Shilong Piao,Laurent Li,Anping Chen,Xuhui Wang,Philippe Ciais,Ling Huang,Xu Lian,Shushi Peng,Zhenzhong Zeng,Kai Wang,Liming Zhou +12 more
TL;DR: This paper investigated 30-year vegetation impacts on regional hydrology by allowing for vegetation-induced changes in precipitation using a coupled land-atmosphere global climate model, with a higher spatial resolution zoomed grid over China.
