Abstract

Widespread spatial synchrony of dry-hot events has been more frequent over the past four decades, increasing nearly ten folds, and reduces global ecosystem productivity and crop yields, based on survey, reanalysis, and remote sensing-based datasets

Fields of Study & Subjects

Climate variability and models Remote Sensing in Agriculture Ecosystem dynamics and resilience
