Global Decoupling of Extratropical Spring Phenology and Temperature

357 MB of data and code supports a study on the recent decoupling between spring vegetation activity and temperature seasonality. Spatially explicit estimates include vegetation green-up onset, thermal growing season onset, and their difference (ΔSOS). The repository contains R scripts for reproducing results, source data for figures, and a spatial mask of the research area.

Use Cases

• Mapping the spatial pattern of phenology-temperature decoupling (ΔSOS) across extratropical regions.
• Analyzing drivers of the mismatch between biological green-up (GSOS) and thermal season onset (TSOS).
• Reproducing study figures and statistical analyses using the provided R scripts and source data.

Strengths

• Includes full reproducibility code (R scripts) and source data for figures.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse.
• Data volume is substantial (357 MB), suggesting detailed spatial coverage.

Limitations

• Column names and exact row counts are not specified in the metadata.
• The temporal coverage of the dataset is not explicitly stated.
• The specific spatial resolution and coordinate reference system are not detailed.
