Data from: The increased effect of spring leaf unfolding on autumn senescence in the northern and southern hemispheres

This dataset was generated to analyze the impacts of vegetation growth
carryover (VGC) and climate factors on plant phenology at a global scale.
It includes satellite NDVI data from GIMMS NDVI 3g (1982–2015) and MODIS
NDVI (2001–2022), as well as ground-based phenological observations from
PEP 725 (1963–2015). Additionally, the dataset incorporates climate data
from ERA5, including temperature, precipitation, radiation, and potential
evapotranspiration, spanning 1982–2022. The dataset provides
start-of-season (SOS) and end-of-season (EOS) metrics alongside these
climatic variables. Covering the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, the
dataset offers insights into global phenological trends, carbon cycling,
and vegetation-climate interactions under changing climatic conditions.
This dataset is intended for use in phenology studies, ecosystem modeling,
and global change research.
