Drought response physiology of the two genotypes was further explored using leaf level photosynthetic gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, water potential and phenology. We observed distinct responses, with the low-affinity genotype exhibiting lower SIF_Red and more negative midday leaf water potential, as well as reduced growth and development rate compared with the high-affinity genotype. SIF_FarRed and NIR_VP exhibited the strongest correlation with canopy photosynthesis followed by NIR_V.

Thus, it can notably monitor human dynamics and light pollution with enhanced spectral and spatial resolution. However, cloud cover and low-quality observations often contaminate the SDGSAT-1 GLI NTL data, limiting its effectiveness. This challenge is addressed by the development of a novel method, namely the SpatioTemporal And spectRal gap-filling method for Sdgsat-1 (STARS) GLI NTL images, which combines spatiotemporal and spectral information to generate cloud-free NTL images with satisfactory pixel brightness and continuity. STARS is the first method to effectively address gap-filling in multiband NTL data using RGB spectral information, even with irregular time intervals and limited image inputs. Compared with traditional methods such as the temporal gap-filling method and the mean-weighted gap-filling method, the Cloud Removing bY Synergizing spatioTemporAL information (CRYSTAL) method, and the spatial and temporal adaptive reflectance fusion model (STARFM), which do not specifically account for the differences in light source variations in multi-band NTL data, STARS demonstrates superior performance (higher R-squared (R²) and lower root-mean-square error (RMSE)) in simulations across seven global cities, demonstrating its effectiveness in filling cloud-induced gaps in multi-band NTL data. On average, STARS achieves R² values for the gap-filling results compared to the actual values of 0.79, 0.78, and 0.70 in the RGB bands, respectively. The cloud-free images produced by STARS extend the time series of the SDGSAT-1 GLI NTL data, supporting multitemporal quantitative analysis. In cloudy regions like Tianjin, China, STARS effectively captures dynamic changes in NTL before and after the Spring Festival, closely matching human activity patterns from Baidu Maps, both spatially and temporally. Overall, STARS offers an innovative and effective approach for gap-filling multiband NTL data, with potential applications in similar datasets.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":417,"journal":{"name":"Remote Sensing of Environment","volume":"322 ","pages":"Article 114720"},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143697400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In northern Quebec's Boreal-Arctic transition (forest-tundra ecotone), this is seen in the replacement of lichen by shrubs, primarily dwarf birch. These changes impact surface albedo, contributing to climate forcings with broad consequences. This study measures vegetation changes in Tasiapik valley near Umiujaq, Quebec, using a combination of (1) hyperspectral data (347–2400 nm) collected from 62 vegetation assemblages, including lichen, dwarf birch, willow, and spruce, to calculate broadband albedo, and (2) remote sensing data from Landsat satellites over 1984–2023. By combining these data, the proportion of vegetation type for each pixel was determined at the beginning and end of the 40-year period. The areal coverage of six main vegetation types was quantified over the 9.25 km² valley. The most significant change was lichen replacement by dwarf birch with lichen understory, leading to an albedo reduction from 0.233 to 0.168 and a summer shortwave forcing of 11.17 W m⁻². At the valley scale, the spatially-averaged summer forcing was 2.16 W m⁻² when considering all observed vegetation changes. These values, lower than those in previous Norwegian studies, highlight the spatial variability of shortwave forcing due to lichen replacement. We observed that the vegetation change producing the greatest positive radiative forcing also caused the strongest greening. This suggests that Landsat-based greening may be used as a proxy for surface albedo change on an Arctic scale. This unique combination of ground and satellite data allows quantification of a direct, first-order effect of Arctic shrubification.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":417,"journal":{"name":"Remote Sensing of Environment","volume":"322 ","pages":"Article 114715"},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143677933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the limited availability of simultaneous multi-angle LST observations from space has hindered the exploration of this topic. NASA's latest ECOSTRESS sensor deployed on the International Space Station (ISS) generates multi-angle LST measurements at a 70-m spatial resolution for different times of day/night, providing a new avenue for investigating urban thermal anisotropy. In this study, we presented an initial examination of the performance of ECOSTRESS LST observations in unraveling the fine-grained urban thermal anisotropy, by taking the City of Phoenix, Arizona, United States, as the study area. We proposed a method to generate a quasi-simultaneous multi-angle ECOSTRESS LST dataset over the course of the diurnal cycle with the assistance of air temperature data from weather stations and hourly LST observations from a geostationary satellite, GOES-R. We then examined the thermal anisotropic patterns and their diurnal and seasonal variations across different Local Climate Zones (LCZs) at a spatial resolution of 200 m. Based on quasi-simultaneous multi-angle ECOSTRESS observations, Vinnikov and Vinnikov-RL models were employed to generate LCZ-scale anisotropy profiles of the study area to quantify and correct the LST directional effect. The results revealed that ECOSTRESS observations manifest unique angular patterns, featuring substantial variations in sensor viewing azimuth angles (VAA) and limited changes in sensor viewing zenith angles (VZA) within a 30° range. The angular effect led to notable variations in the observed LST, with potential deviations at the city scale of up to 10 K during winter and around 5 K during summer, relative to the nadir LST. Furthermore, the LST anisotropy exhibited distinct diurnal and seasonal patterns across LCZs, characterized by prominent variations in the intensity and width of hot/cold spots. LCZ 6, 9, and D typically displayed higher hotspot intensity and width than other LCZs at varying times of day in both summer and winter. In addition, the Vinnikov-RL model had good performance in simulating diurnal LST anisotropy over LCZs. This study reveals the potential of multi-angle ECOSTRESS LST observations in exploring urban thermal anisotropy, and contributes to better utilization of ECOSTRESS LST products. The integration of ECOSTRESS LST data with other satellite derived LST data have important implications for studying urban climate and improving long-term surface climate record, contributing to global climate studies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":417,"journal":{"name":"Remote Sensing of Environment","volume":"322 ","pages":"Article 114705"},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143629603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these analytical RT models are not comprehensively parameterized for all RT computations, leading to the neglect of crucial processes, such as multiple scattering processes during the derivation of semi-physical TC methods. The spectral invariants theory (<em>p</em>-theory) offers an efficient approach to model canopy BRFs by simplifying RT computations.
