The responses of leaf shedding to heatwaves and droughts remain uncertain, although temperate deciduous forests may shed their leaves if exposed to extreme heat and water stress. Little information, however, is available about the extent and recurrence of early leaf shedding induced by drought, likely because it occurs in small forest patches and can be discriminated only during a few weeks. We used highly spatiotemporal Sentinel-2 data as evidence of widespread drought-induced early leaf shedding in Europe during 2017–2021. We estimated the timing of leaf shedding from NDVI time series and a threshold-based method that extracts the end of the growing season. Then, we evaluated the heatwave and drought impacts at the end of season by analysing the z-score of Landsat-7 and -8 land surface temperature and the ERA5-Land air temperature and aridity index. The 10-m resolution Sentinel-2 data identified early leaf shedding not detected by the low-resolution (250 m) MODIS sensor. Early leaf shedding was observed across Europe during the entire study period and its occurrence was linked to preceding anomalously high temperatures and arid conditions. Our results also indicated that mean summer NDVI decreased significantly in the years following early leaf shedding, suggesting a legacy decline in vegetation productivity. Our study demonstrates that decametric satellite data can be used to monitor the responses of forests to extreme climate events at the canopy level and indicates that early leaf shedding associated with heatwaves and droughts is more widespread and frequent across the continent than previously thought. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/rse2.296 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/340042 | DOI: | 10.1002/rse2.296 | E-ISSN: | 2056-3485 |
