Croplands cool nights but have mixed daytime effects in tropical Africa
Cropland expansion across tropical Africa produces nighttime cooling but hydroclimatically-dependent daytime effects, driven by turbulent heat flux changes tied to vegetation differences.
Refined Sentinel-2 chlorophyll-a algorithm performed best in Thai freshwater bodies
Evaluating Sentinel-2 chlorophyll-a algorithms for Thai freshwater eutrophication monitoring. Tropical-specific models improve satellite imagery accuracy compared to temperate region approaches.
Pantropical forest leaf longevity is converging toward a middle range
Pantropical moist forests show converging leaf longevity under climate change, with long-longevity regions declining and short-longevity regions increasing.
