Identifying the drivers of grassland greening is essential for forecasting ecosystem responses to future climate change and developing effective adaptation strategies. Grasslands worldwide have experienced pronounced greening trends over recent decades. Despite this widespread phenomenon, the underlying biophysical mechanisms and dominant drivers remain insufficiently understood. By integrating satellite observations with model simulations, we show consistent increases in global grassland leaf area index (LAI) across both historical periods and future scenarios. A sustained increase in summer LAI is identified as the primary driver of grassland greening, contributing approximately 43.28% to the overall trend. Grassland greening exhibits strong spatial heterogeneity, with humid regions accounting for the largest contribution (i.e., 67.27%). Correlation analysis, structural equation modeling, and ridge regression reveal distinct regional differences in the dominant drivers across aridity gradients. Soil moisture (SM) emerges as the primary driver in arid regions, while temperature plays a more prominent role in semi-arid areas. In sub-humid and humid regions, vapor pressure deficit (VPD) exerts a stronger influence on grassland LAI dynamics. Moreover, the synergistic effect of temperature and VPD enhances summer greening, particularly in humid regions and high-latitude areas of the Northern Hemisphere. Notably, the influence of VPD transitions from inhibitory in arid regions to facilitative in humid environments. In contrast, the role of SM in shaping vegetation dynamics weakens progressively along the aridity gradient. These findings advance our understanding of how grassland ecosystems respond to varying hydroclimatic conditions and offer key insights for forecasting vegetation dynamics under future climate change.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":73423,"journal":{"name":"International journal of applied earth observation and geoinformation : ITC journal","volume":"143 ","pages":"Article 104806"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144889933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used all sensors individually, as well as different combinations of data (Sentinel-1/2, EnMAP/Sentinel-1/2), and compared predictions to predictions based on LiDAR data – a well-proven standard in mapping species richness. Our results showed that a combination of EnMAP/Sentinel-1/2 performed as well or even better than airborne LiDAR data for predicting species richness, but predictive accuracies of individual spaceborne models were substantially lower. This suggests that optical, radar and hyperspectral data carry complementary information and combining this information unleashes the full potential of spaceborne data for species richness mapping. However, validating models by habitat type revealed higher errors within habitat types (i.e., forest or open habitat), especially for immobile species (fungi and plants) that likely vary at smaller spatial scales than the resolution of the spaceborne systems used in this study.

While various global-scale SSN regression and machine learning algorithms based on SSN-environment variable relationships have been developed, the prediction accuracy and spatiotemporal resolution of their applications continue to face limitations. Additionally, there has been relatively little reporting on the interannual variability of global SSN in previous studies. Here we aim to enhance the accuracy and spatial resolution of SSN retrievals by developing improved regression and machine learning models, enabling the generation of global daily ∼ 8 km SSN products from satellite and model data. To construct the empirical regression models, the global ocean was divided into five regions on the basis of the relationship between sea surface temperature (SST) and SSN: 80° S to 40° N, the North Pacific, the North Atlantic, the Arabian Sea, and the eastern equatorial Pacific. After adding SSN-related physical variables, high-accuracy regional empirical models are developed, with root mean square deviations (RMSDs) of 1.641, 2.701, 1.221, 1.298, and 2.379 μmol/kg for the studied regions. For the machine learning models, seven algorithms, namely, extremely randomized trees (ET), multilayer perceptron (MLP), stacking random forest (SRF), Gaussian process regression (GPR), support vector machine (SVM), gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithms, were tested. After modeling, validation, and extensive tests using independent cruise dataset, the XGBoost model outperformed others (RMSD = 1.189 μmol/kg) and bypassed the need for regional segmentation. Mechanistic analysis revealed the driving variables influencing SSN in both regional empirical and XGBoost models, improving interpretability. Comparative validation confirmed that our models surpass traditional approaches in accuracy and applicability, demonstrating their potential to advance global SSN monitoring.

However, weak seafloor echoes in full-waveform data induced by environmental and device characteristics are confused with noise signals, leading to difficulties in seafloor detection. This paper proposes a pregeneration–recognition method of detecting weak seafloor echoes for ALB. First, a two-stage local maximum algorithm is developed to identify potential seafloor echoes in waveforms and to pregenerate points. Then, an adaptive ellipsoidal neighborhood related to the point density is used to select neighborhood points, and eigenvalue-based spatial features are calculated. Finally, a back propagation neural network (BPNN) model is constructed using the points generated from surface–seafloor shots, and the seafloor points in seafloor-undefined shots are obtained by optimizing the BPNN results. The proposed method is verified on four swaths collected via the Optech Aquarius ALB system near Wuzhizhou Island and Ganquan Island in the South China Sea. The numbers of additional points detected with the proposed method near these two islands increase by 195.9 % and 40.1 % compared with the Aquarius system, which is better than the Richardson–Lucy deconvolution method. The coverages and maximum depth of seafloor points are improved and the accuracy evaluations demonstrate the credibility of the results. Therefore, the proposed pregeneration–recognition method can effectively improve the detection rate for weak seafloor echoes and the depth performance of ALB systems.
