However, under rapid climate change and more frequent extreme events, future changes in crop phenological shifts have not been well investigated and fully considered in earth system modeling and regional climate assessments. Here, we propose an innovative approach combining remote sensing imagery and machine learning (ML) with climate and survey data to predict future crop phenological shifts across the US corn and soybean systems. Specifically, our projected findings demonstrate distinct acceleration patterns—under the RCP 4.5/RCP 8.5 scenarios, corn planting, silking, maturity, and harvesting stages would significantly advance by 0.94/1.66, 1.13/2.45, 0.89/2.68, and 1.04/2.16 days/decade during 2021–2099, respectively. Soybeans exhibit more muted responses with phenological stages showing relatively smaller negative trends (0.59, 1.08, 0.07, and 0.64 days/decade under the RCP 4.5 vs. 1.24, 1.53, 0.92, and 1.04 days/decade under the RCP 8.5). These spatially explicit projections illustrate how crop phenology would respond to future climate change, highlighting widespread and progressively earlier phenological timing. Based on these findings, we call for a specific effort to quantify the cascading effects of future phenology shifts on crop yield and carbon, water, and energy balances and, accordingly, craft targeted adaptive strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":16003,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences","volume":"130 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143770184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes measured using eddy covariance over a cemetery (less managed) and golf course (more managed) to investigate the contribution of turfgrass lawns to biogenic CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes in Indianapolis, IN. We assess the ability of a simple light-use efficiency model, the Vegetation Photosynthesis and Respiration Model (VPRM), commonly used to create prior fluxes necessary for determining urban carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) fluxes via inversion modeling, to represent daily and seasonal patterns in turfgrass CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes. Our results show that the existing VPRM Plant Functional Types (PFTs) cannot capture observed daily and seasonal fluxes at either location. We then use data from these sites to create a new turfgrass PFT for the VPRM. We find that less-managed lawns like cemeteries are best represented by different parameters than heavily managed lawns like golf courses, and seasonally changing parameters best match the observed fluxes. We then use the new turfgrass PFT within the VPRM to explore daily and seasonal variability in turfgrass fluxes and their impact, integrated across the city, on urban ecosystem CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes.

However, the presence of dams and other impoundments increase water residence time and could dampen these effects. Here, we examine DOM biogeochemistry in the Hudson River (New York, USA), which experiences intermittent periods of elevated discharge and receives a seasonally varied series of inputs from urban, agricultural, and forested landscapes. DOM was quantified and characterized using optical spectroscopic techniques, including parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) modeling of fluorescent DOM components. Our findings indicate that the influence of land cover on DOM composition is secondary to that of hydrologic management. We also found DOM pulse-shunt effects to be more muted in the upper Hudson River watershed, where more water is retained by dams and reservoirs than in the Mohawk River watershed.

Stable clay-rich microaggregates in finer PSF (<20 μm) vary across ecosystems, influencing the storage and modification of plant-derived <i>n</i>-alkyl lipid signatures. Principle component analysis showed that the <i>n</i>-alkyl lipid signature across PSF in forest soil is distinct and more variable than other two ecosystems. In grassland and mixed PSF, extensive belowground root processes fragments and reduces soil aggregates, which limits the modification of plant <i>n</i>-alkyl lipids when compared to physically stable aggregates found in forest ecosystems. The susceptibility of <i>n</i>-alkanoic acids to microbial decomposition resulted in consistent replacement and a stable profile across soil fractions, while <i>n</i>-alkanes exhibit greater variability due to differences in aggregate protection.

FETCH4 simulates water transport through the soil, roots, and stem as porous media flow. Stomatal conductance is controlled by xylem water potential, which is resolved along the vertical dimension. A key feature of FETCH4 is a multispecies canopy formulation, which uses crown and stem dimensional characteristics to allow the model to produce both tree-level and plot-level outputs and improves the representation of hydraulic traits and their variation among trees and species. We demonstrate the model's performance in a mixed temperate forest in Michigan with species of contrasting hydraulic strategies. We optimize species-specific hydraulic parameters using a Bayesian optimization framework incorporating sapflow measurements. FETCH4 performed well in simulating sapflow of species with contrasting hydraulic strategies under conditions of water stress. In addition, the model was able to capture higher-level emergent traits, such as drought sensitivity.
