The phenological characteristics of plants can reflect both their responses to environmental changes as well an ecosystem’s sensitivity climate change. Although there have been several studies plant species worldwide, is minimal research on the phenology vegetation found in extremely arid environments within context To address this gap, study investigated effects climate–hydrological factors, including temperature, precipitation, surface and humidity, (start growing season [SOS] end [EOS]) Populus euphratica Tarim Desert Oasis. Using Landsat 7/8 satellite imagery field data, we analyzed spatial temporal variations SOS EOS from 2004 2023. availability water, particularly groundwater depth directly played a key role shaping distribution dynamics P. phenology. impact increasing temperatures varied under different moisture conditions: high-moisture environments, increased promoted earlier delayed EOS, with opposite conditions occurring low-moisture environments. This highlights profound influence change, especially extreme regions. accurately predict response future ecological models should incorporate hydrological soil moisture, cold dry These findings provide important insights for developing effective protection management strategies.
