Potential climate tipping points pose a growing risk for societies, and policy is calling improved anticipation of them. Satellite remote sensing can play unique role in identifying anticipating phenomena across scales. Where satellite records are too short temporal early warning points, complementary spatial indicators leverage the exceptional spatial-temporal coverage remotely sensed data to detect changing resilience vulnerable systems. Combining Earth observation with system models improve process-based understanding their interactions, potential cascades. Such fine-resolution support point management

Abstract Concerns have been raised that the resilience of vegetated ecosystems may be negatively impacted by ongoing anthropogenic climate and land-use change at global scale. Several recent studies present vegetation trends based on satellite data using diverse methodological set-ups. Here, upon a systematic comparison sets, spatial temporal pre-processing, estimation methods, we propose methodology avoids different biases in previous results. Nevertheless, find optical is broadly problematic dense tropical high-latitude boreal forests, regardless index chosen. However, for wide parts mid-latitudes—especially with low biomass density—resilience can reliably estimated several indices. We infer spatially consistent pattern gain loss across indices, more regions facing declining resilience, especially Africa, Australia central Asia.

Abstract Accurate assessment of drought recovery probability is crucial for proactive strategies in cost‐effective water resource allocation, resilient agriculture management, and sustainable energy planning. However, there has been a notable gap assessing from probabilistic multi‐variate perspective. Here, we develop Vine Copula‐based framework to quantify global explore its elasticity precipitation changes. Compared the historical period (1951–1983), 51% land become increasingly difficult recover extreme droughts over 1984–2016 within 8–14 days during growing seasons. Furthermore, response changes depends on background climate varies asymmetrically between wet dry conditions. Under an extremely climate, 1% increase yields mere 0.5% median June‐July‐August, but can lead pronounced 6.6% if gets drier.

Dynamic ecosystems, such as the Amazon forest, are expected to show critical slowing down behavior, or slower recovery from recurrent small perturbations, they approach an ecological threshold a different ecosystem state. Drought occurrences becoming more prevalent across Amazon, with known negative effects on forest health and functioning, but their actual role in patterns still remains elusive. In this study, we evaluate effect of trends extreme drought temporal autocorrelation (TAC) satellite-derived indices vegetation activity, indicator down, between 2001 2019. Differentiating frequency, intensity, duration, investigate respective response. Our results indicate that intensity droughts is important driver than although impacts vary regions. addition, areas variable precipitation already less ecologically stable need fewer induce down. We present findings indicating most region does not increasing trend TAC. However, predicted increase frequency could potentially transition significant portions into state altered functionality.

Abstract Resistance and resilience are widely used to characterize ecosystem drought stability. Tradeoff between resistance have been reported, but its long‐term trends remain uncertain at global scale. Based on remotely sensed vegetation indices, we assessed the spatiotemporal dynamics of resilience. Result revealed that there was a significant decline in tradeoff resilience, corresponding substantial increase proportion areas with high resistance‐high or low resistance‐low In South Sahel, Africa Central China, increased precipitation coverage contribute enhanced stability constructed by resilience; while rising temperature, decreased water availability deforestation lead declined northeastern North America, America Congo region. Increases resulting from declining tradeoffs warn regional vulnerability.
