On the spatial and temporal variability of Larch phenological cycle in mountainous areas

In this st��y we analye the spatial antemporal variability of Eropean Larch phenological cycle in montainos areas (Val ���osta, Italy) bysing a combination of satelliteata, primary topographic attribtes (altit��e anaspect) anphenological moelsriven by climatic variables. We apply a remote sensing techniqe baseon a time series of MODIS �ERR� 250m 16-�ays NDVIata for mapping the inter-annal variability of phenological cycle. Starting from the satellite green-�p maps we spatially explorethe response of larch phenology atifferent terrain conitions varying for altit��e anaspect. � retrospective analysis baseon climate-�riven phenological moels was finally con��cteto evalate the magnit��e of temporal variability of Larch phenology in the last centry.
