Red and photographic infrared linear combinations for monitoring vegetation
- C. Tucker
- Environmental Science
- 1 May 1979
The relationships between various linear combinations of red and photographic infrared radiances and vegetation parameters are investigated. In situ spectrometers are used to measure the… Expand

Daily daytime Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) 4‐km global area coverage data have been processed to produce a Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) 8‐km equal‐area dataset… Expand
Climate-Driven Increases in Global Terrestrial Net Primary Production from 1982 to 1999
- R. Nemani, C. Keeling, +5 authors S. Running
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Science
- 6 June 2003
Recent climatic changes have enhanced plant growth in northern mid-latitudes and high latitudes. However, a comprehensive analysis of the impact of global climatic changes on vegetation productivity… Expand
Increased plant growth in the northern high latitudes from 1981 to 1991
- R. Myneni, C. Keeling, C. Tucker, G. Asrar, R. Nemani
- Environmental Science
- Nature
- 17 April 1997
Variations in the amplitude and timing of the seasonal cycle of atmospheric CO2 have shown an association with surface air temperature consistent with the hypothesis that warmer temperatures have… Expand
Variations in northern vegetation activity inferred from satellite data of vegetation index during 1981 to 1999

- Geology
- 16 September 2001
The northern high latitudes have warmed by about 0.8°C since the early 1970s, but not all areas have warmed uniformly [Hansen et al., 1999]. There is warming in most of Eurasia, but the warming rate… Expand
Fifty years of deforestation and forest fragmentation in Madagascar
- G. Harper, M. Steininger, C. Tucker, D. Juhn, F. Hawkins
- Geography
- 1 December 2007
Tropical deforestation is a key contributor to species extinction and climate change, yet the extent of tropical forests and their rate of destruction and degradation through fragmentation remain… Expand
Evidence for a significant urbanization effect on climate in China.
