Exploring Vegetation–Water Asynchrony in a Flood–Drought-Prone Landscape: Insights from Sentinel-2 and the Limitations of Predictive Modeling
Climate change has intensified hydrological extremes, placing complex stress on terrestrial ecosystems. Quantifying the decoupling between vegetation condition and water availability—termed vegetation–water asynchrony—is critical for sustainable ecosystem monitoring, yet no standardized remote sensing indicator exists....
