Monitoring our planet with satellites produces massive datasets too large for researchers to handle. We created a new global database that condenses 25 years of Landsat and MODIS observations into a highly efficient format (Analysis-ready embedding vectors) using AI. By reducing data size by over 340 times while maintaining high accuracy, we allow global studies to be run on standard PC. Makes planetary research accessible to everyone and helps us better track environmental changes over time.

Short summary
Bare soil reflectance affects surface energy exchange in agricultural systems, but its field-scale variability is still poorly known. Using satellite observations and machine learning, we examined spatiotemporal variations of bare soil reflectance across European croplands. We show that it varies with soil properties, soil moisture, and observation geometry. These results suggest that dynamic soil reflectance should be taken into account in surface energy balance studies of agroecosystems.

We created detailed maps showing where different crops are grown in China and how planting changes over time. By combining existing maps with information learned from satellite images, we produced nationwide maps at 10-meter resolution from 2018 to 2021. The maps agree well with local statistics and clearly reveal shifting crop patterns. These results can support better agricultural planning, farm management, and climate-smart decisions.

This study integrates the extreme weather index and deep learning algorithms with the World Food Studies Simulation Model (WOFOST), proposing the WOFOST-EW v1. WOFOST-EW significantly improves the simulation of winter wheat growth under extreme weather conditions, providing more accurate predictions of phenology and yield. As extreme weather events become more frequent, WOFOST-EW provides a key tool for agricultural development.

We created the first global maps showing where livestocks have been raised each year from 1961 to 2021. These maps help to see how livestock numbers and locations have changed over time. Using global statistics and satellite data, we built a model to estimate livestock density at a high resolution (5 km). This work supports better decisions in food security, disease control, and environmental protection around the world.

This study creates the first detailed annual maps of Africa's cropland extent from 2000 to 2022 in 30 m resolution to support global efforts against hunger and sustainable farming. Our findings show Africa's cropland grew by 8.5 % over 2 decades, while 11.5 % of cropland was abandoned by 2018, revealing hidden challenges in agricultural sustainability. These yearly field-sized maps help governments track where farming grows or shrinks, plan food supplies, and protect vital cropland.

We refined the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer Global Digital Elevation Model (ASTER GDEM) with Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite 2 data to release a new dataset (IC2-GDEM). It has superior global elevation quality to ASTER GDEM. Its seamless integration with historical ASTER GDEM datasets is essential for longitudinal environmental studies. As a complementary data source to other GDEMs, it enables more reliable and comprehensive scientific discoveries.

We developed a new method to update detailed maps showing where different crops are grown over time, focusing on Africa, China, and the USA. Using various data sources and machine learning, we produced accurate maps at a 10 km resolution covering up to 42 crop types from 1961 to 2022. Our work bridges statistical data and satellite imagery, helping researchers and policymakers to address global agricultural challenges in food security and environmental impacts.

An increase of 28 % in cropland expansion since 10 000 BCE has led to a 1.2 % enhancement in the global cropping potential, with varying efficiencies across regions. The continuous expansion has altered the support for population growth and has had impacts on climate and biodiversity, highlighting the effects of climate change. It also points out the limitations of previous studies.

This study presents long-term (i.e., 1940–2022) and high-resolution (i.e., 0.25°) monthly time series of TWS anomalies over the global land surface. The reconstruction is achieved by using a set of machine learning models with a large number of predictors, including climatic and hydrological variables, land use/land cover data, and vegetation indicators (e.g., leaf area index). Our proposed GTWS-MLrec performs overall as well as, or is more reliable than, previous TWS datasets.

We developed the first time-mapped, continental-scale gridded dataset of monthly leaf area index (LAI) in three leaf age cohorts (i.e., young, mature, and old) from 2001–2018 data (referred to as Lad-LAI). The seasonality of three LAI cohorts from the new Lad-LAI product agrees well at eight sites with very fine-scale collections of monthly LAI. The proposed satellite-based approaches can provide references for mapping finer spatiotemporal-resolution LAI products with different leaf age cohorts.

This study observed the marked interannual differences in the vegetation response to the trend towards a warmer and wetter climate in northwest China. And found that the influence of precipitation to vegetation has gradually become stronger from 1982 to 2019 in northwest China, whereas which of temperature has gradually become weaker.

Unprecedented urbanization in China has led to serious urban heat island (UHI) issues, exerting intense heat stress on urban residents. We find diverse influences of aerosol pollution on urban heat island intensity (UHII) under different circulations. Our results also highlight the role of black carbon in aggravating UHI, especially during nighttime. It could thus be targeted for cooperative management of heat islands and aerosol pollution.

In the study, the first 1 km global cropland proportion dataset for 10 000 BCE–2100 CE was produced through the harmonization and downscaling framework. The mapping result coincides well with widely used datasets at present. With improved spatial resolution, our maps can better capture the cropland distribution details and spatial heterogeneity. The dataset will be valuable for long-term simulations and precise analyses. The framework can be extended to specific regions or other land use types.

In this study, we implemented the specific morphology, phenology and harvest process of oil palm in the global land surface model ORCHIDEE-MICT. The improved model generally reproduces the same leaf area index, biomass density and life cycle fruit yield as observations. This explicit representation of oil palm in a global land surface model offers a useful tool for understanding the ecological processes of oil palm growth and assessing the environmental impacts of oil palm plantations.

In this study, the first 30 m resolution terrace map of China was developed through supervised pixel-based classification using multisource, multi-temporal data based on the Google Earth Engine platform. The classification performed well with an overall accuracy of 94 %. The terrace mapping algorithm can be used to map large-scale terraces in other regions globally, and the terrace map will be valuable for studies on soil erosion, carbon cycle, and ecosystem service assessments.

Short summary
We developed the first 30 m annual cropland dataset of China (CACD) for 1986–2021. The overall accuracy of CACD reached up to 0.93±0.01 and was superior to other products. Our fine-resolution cropland maps offer valuable information for diverse applications and decision-making processes in the future.
