LAND COVER AND PHENOLOGICAL MONITORING IN BOREAL ECOSYSTEMS USING THE SPOT- VEGETATION INSTRUMENT: NEW OBSERVATIONS FOR CLIMATE STUDIES

The boreal ecosystems of Eurasia embrace conditions ranging from the arctic deserts of the north through some of our planet’s oldest forests down to the borders of the southern dry steppes. These are highly dynamic systems due to both natural or anthropogenic actions. Climate is the predominating an...

Description
Summary:The boreal ecosystems of Eurasia embrace conditions ranging from the arctic deserts of the north through some of our planet’s oldest forests down to the borders of the southern dry steppes. These are highly dynamic systems due to both natural or anthropogenic actions. Climate is the predominating and most significant natural factor, which sets the phenological rhythms to the land
